Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I am a professional musician/pianist who has had the good fortune to have performed and worked around the world in a variety of musical styles and venues.

As a teacher, I can give piano lessons to all levels as well as lessons in music theory. Read More

"Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime." As I help my students accomplish their musical goals in a fun, disciplined and fast paced way, I get great satisfaction watching them discover and develop their talents, skills and abilities. My hope is that my pupils will learn enough about music from me to be able to learn and play any new music of their choice independent of my help. Read More

My style is to get students to start performing and playing songs, so that they maybe come as passionate about music as I am! I try to keep each student at paces they are comfortable with and set goals for each student to get to the next level. I tailor my instruction to inspire students to create and make music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
I have over a decade’s combined experience teaching music to K-12 and adult students of all levels, including four years of TA’ing college-level music courses. I have worked as a private flute and piano teacher, an after-school program instructor, a summer music camp teacher, and as a substitute music theory instructor at a community music school. While at UC Davis, I was a TA for several music courses, including introductory music theory, introductory music history, and intermediate ear training. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have started piano students off with Piano Adventures Primer Lessons and Theory, and have taught adults using the Alfred Basic Adult Piano Course. I do have students learning from John Thompson's Teaching Little Fingers How to Play method (moves more quickly than Piano Adventures), and have a Blues Piano student learning from various sources including How to Play Boogie Woogie (Hal Leonard/Wise). I teach beginning guitar using the Hal Leonard Guitar Method, also Mel Bay's Modern Guitar Method, and Mel Bay's Fun With Strums. Read More

Instruments: Drums Bass Guitar Djembe
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I am a drummer that learned piano and bass guitar out of curiosity. Once I learned them, I got better with both through necessity, by filling in to empty spots in bands when drums were not needed.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Drums are far easier to play than they appear. However, despite their rapid learning curve, I believe that true talent and precision on the drums takes may hours of dedication to elevate from "someone that plays drums" to "a drummer."
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Practices should not be too long, lest concepts and ideas get jumbled and forgotten. I dedicate a significant amount of my lesson time to simply enjoying the instrument: Playing covers, improvising, etc. In this way, students get to apply their newfound skills in a way that is engaging, rewarding, and memorable.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Much of my time as a musician has been spent as a volunteer for various worship bands. However, recently I started up my own Youtube page, where I can showcase my accumulated skills and gain exposure in new ways.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practice comes with a plan. Even a simple guideline is better than nothing! If you go into practice without a goal, you will not have progress that is measurable.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Music is for everyone. Music is the ultimate stress reliever, it builds the mind, it boosts confidence, and it can lead to many friendships. If a student is able and willing to learn, music will come as easy as does any subject in school. Make no mistake, music cis not easy, but it is so rewarding, and fun to learn all the while!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Drummers are a unique and talented group. Skills on the drums translates to better coordination, better reflexes, better cardiovascular health, and increased motor skills- all of which easily find applications in many other fields of life.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Tommy Igoe is a drumming guru who wrote the masterful "Groove Essentials" books, specifically designed to teach music to drummers of all levels. At an early age, he showed me how to not only love music, but also to love learning it as well.
When will I start to see results?
Progress in the beginning is the most rapid and most rewarding. In the first six months, a student learns the basic skills and concepts that allow them to play their instrument. Depending on their practice routine, a student should be ready to play with others by the end of a few months.
