Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
To complement my studies on drums, I studied jazz theory with reknown bassist and educator Scott Mason and jazz arranging with former Buddy Rich trombonist, Tom Garling. After graduating in May 2011, I have had the oppoutunity to play in major Chicago venues like The Metro, Lincoln Hall, Congress Theater, Reggies, Rosa's and many others. Also, I have been fortuante to have played at locations all over the U.S. and shared the stage with musicians like Warren Haynes and Jimmy Herring (formerly of The Allman Brothers). Read More

Concept teaching is the most effective for advancing the musicians development. Teaching specific details and then showing how they can be moved and manipulated for a greater concept theme will give the students confidence that they actually understand what is happening musically from plenty angles and the ability to maneuver through the music and instrument as seamless as possible. Taking it bit by bit will allow for laying foundational bricks that will be an anchor for concept building. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Harmonica Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I began taking guitar lessons at the age of thirteen and continued for about two years before teaching myself the rest. My styes of playing range from folk-style fingerpicking (see video) to rock 'n roll, blues jazz, and Broadway. I began teaching private music lessons while in High School. My first guitar student went on to pursue a degree in Guitar Performance at Redlands University and is launching a career as a fulltime musician. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
Teaching is something I naturally love doing, simply because I see it as an opportunity to share my interest and passion for a particular subject with someone, so that they may develop the same fondness for that subject. I believe the most important role of a teacher is to spark passion and curiosity in his student, hence my goal is to successfully demonstrate to my students why music is so amazing!I have about a year of teaching experience, tutoring high school students.I also have been teaching piano to my roommates and friends during my college, and have successfully hooked many of them to music.

Instruments: Piano Clarinet Music Keyboard
In the first lesson beginner students get an overview of the piano, learn their first warmups, get an idea of what they should do outside of our lessons to see the most progress, and discuss their goals as a musician and pianist/clarinetist. I mostly teach from Alfred's Basic Piano Library All-In-One Book series for students of all ages and supplement with other materials as needed. I usually am willing to work with any books students already have as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I have been teaching private piano and voice lessons for over 20 years, and I still love it! I love teaching all ages, beginner thru advanced. As an undergraduate, I was tapped to teach for my university's preparatory music department. After graduation, I started teaching privately, and I've never looked back. In addition to teaching privately, I have also taught music and movement classes, and that experience has helped me learn how to effectively incorporate movement in order to help students learn (especially busy little ones who don't need to be sitting for an entire half hour lesson anyway).

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I have about 3 years of private lesson teaching experience. I offer guitar, piano, and voice lessons. I believe that have a good foundation on any instrument can help with progressing in any music style. I enjoy teaching all ages and am used to adapting lessons for any age and level. Music can be beneficial for anyone, not just musicians. I always format my lessons around the particular students interest. I take teaching seriously and am very reliable. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The most important things to remember about practicing are consistency and joy. I treat my instruments like pets, in that they are a part of my life every day and I love them, and the more attention I give them the more they will love me in return. I focus on starting a practice session with something I enjoy and am motivated to learn and then zero in on the weak points of the piece and from that decide what mechanical things I need to practice, like scales or bowing or picking exercise or drum rudiments. My rule of thumb is that 10 min per day of practice means you are not getting worse, and 30 min or more is where you start improving. I also give myself the freedom to jump between different pieces of music as I get tired of one. It's important to enjoy the process of practicing and improving.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on what results you are looking for, and I would say about two weeks of practicing 30 minutes a day is when you will start to see the beginning results. There are good videos on youtube showing the progress you make with consistent practice but ideally, the process will be enjoyable enough that you will understand how each day and each minute of practicing is causing you to improve. At this point, I see results about 10 minutes after I dedicate myself to practicing a single specific thing. Difficult pieces take about two weeks of consistent practice to play well, and it is very rare that you hit the ceiling of how well you can play something. Jaco Pastorius, a famous electric bassist, said that it took him 9 years to learn how to play Donna Lee, a jazz standard that he is very well known for now
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Basically, if the child is interested in lessons they are ready to start lessons. I think we often make the mistake of expecting children to be very disciplined along the lines we want them to be, instead of letting their natural curiosity and playfulness lead their musical journey. I try not to be too hard on kids and make sure we are setting goals they actually want to complete. I was forced to play for many years and very nearly stopped because of it. If a child has a natural affinity for an instrument, I think they can always benefit from instruction, and the stronger their desire to play is, the more progress they will make.
