Instruments: Piano Guitar
I teach music at extracurricular programs in many elementary and pre schools across the Northern Virginia and Maryland area. I also teach piano and guitar in my home studio in Fairfax. I feel qualified to teach children, age 5-18, and to do so in a way that each child feels happy, special, and encouraged. I have gained many skills over the years and the most valuable skill I gained is how to make students love the instrument they play! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
I find the process of exploring music and finding solutions together with my students to be intensely uplifting and meaningful, since, as mentioned earlier, each musical soul is unique. While I set clear standards of excellence, I am also patient with all levels and abilities. Indeed, teaching beginners (including adults) is a special passion of mine. A typical lesson will include warm-ups, scales, arpeggios and etudes, followed by detailed work on repertory pieces. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Synthesizer Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
I am a young attentive teacher who bring a lot of fun to the lesson. I have performed all over the country with various groups I graduated from Norfolk State University in 2015 with a Bachelors of Music in Media. I have had the chance work with a lot of young talent in the DMV area Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Keyboard
My preferred piano method is Piano Adventures and I recommend using the Lesson, Theory, and Sight Reading books at each level. For guitar and voice I typically do not follow any specific method unless the student has a preference. For more advance piano students I typically will begin using Suzuki or move them to Burgmller Etudes and Schumann's Opus 68 - Album for the Young. I perform an assessment of new students in the areas of sight reading, music theory, rhythm, performance, and ear training. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a personable and passionate instructor who loves teaching students how to play the "Old 88." I began teaching years ago, assisting my master instructor after 8 years of classical training. Performance was my specialty, accompanying high school and church choirs, as well as performing as a soloist. In addition to performance and teaching, I have music arranging experience. To date, I have over 30 years of teaching and performance experience. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I see myself as a facilitator, helping students discover new elements of music and music theory and building upon those to create a greater understanding of reading and playing music both for piano and voice. Often i will model by playing a song first so that the student cannot not only hear what is sounds like but observe my technique, finger changes, dynamic ranges, tempo and so on. There are many elements to performing a piece besides just playing the correct notes! Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
By age 12 I was becoming serious about music. I formed a band with my friends and we used to practice in my parent's garage. I was always pushing to practice more. I had a drive to want to sound better right from the beginning. I'm not sure exactly where that desire came from. I always took music seriously. But I loved baseball too and had dreams of playing for the St. Louis Cardinals. Around age 16 or 17 I began to lean more on music than baseball. I wasn't thinking of it as a career but gradually music began to define nearly everything I did.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My younger brother sings and plays guitar, bass and piano. We've written songs together and had a band. No one before us in our family played (that I'm aware of). But we grew up with music in our house. My father had an incredible vinyl collection. Motown, The Beatles, Elvis, Phil Spector's records. Music was always playing around the house. I remember studying the album artwork as the record played. I wanted to know how was in the band and what instruments they played. I wanted to learn who produced the records and who wrote the songs. I loved growing up in a house full of music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
From the guitar, I picked up most things with strings: bass, ukulele, etc. I can also play piano and sing. Once I learned the guitar, I didn't find it too difficult to move on to other instruments. The basic theory of chords, scales and keys was the same. As I stated above, when I learn a song I listen to all the parts. So after I learn the guitar part, I'll study what the drums and bass are doing. I'll study the lyrics and vocal melody. I'm interested in how each part works together to create the sound of the band.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I enjoy so many different styles of music it's impossible for me to choose one. One of the exciting things about technology is we have moved into a post-genre time in music. I listen to it all. I listen to The Smiths and Radiohead and Ryan Adams and Wilco and Segovia and Django and Willie Nelson, Dylan and The Beatles. I love Bach and Debussy. I tend to pull from all these genres as I play and write. Prince has been a big influence on me. He wrote and performed within so many disparate styles of music.
