Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I do not usually follow any method book as every student is different, has different background, goals and aspirations. I try to mix exercises/methods that I use in my practice with materials of accomplished pedagogues. I have my set of warm-ups that I use on saxophone, clarinet, and flute; I often find myself using flute method while playing the saxophone which only pushes my and my students abilities and makes them better musicians.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I teach music as a way of life. To be able to inspire, motivate and enrich a student's life through music has limitless possibilites. Strengthening one's self-esteem and dynamic expression through music can tranform one's life. Everyone has the potential to create. It takes willingness and courage to go beyond the musical note. My commitment as a teacher is to give students the opportunity to express themselves through music in their own unique way. Learning to play a musical instrument can be fun! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I like to have a balance in my lessons between fun and challenge. I do this by setting realistic goals each week for my students, dependent on their level of perfomance and the pace that they are progressing. Not everyone will progress at the same pace, and I feel that it is more important for a student to master a particular lesson than to move quickly through the lesson book. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I incorporate a variety of method books and approaches to learning music, believing that there is no one method for every student. For piano, my favorite methods are Faber and Faber's Piano Adventures, but I enjoy utilizing supplemental material from a variety of genres. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
However, I did not stop at just sharing knowledge. One of my students named Recker Eans was interested in playing shows at 6 years old so I taught his parents to manage a social media account for him and to go play out at places such as First Friday on roosevelt row. He quickly gained traction and has now been on Fox News, BBC, and a couple other local news programs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who has the abilities to "awaken" the musical gifts of students with the desire to achieve a goal of musicianship. I graduated from Grambling State University with a Bachelor of Music Education and a Masters of Music from Jackson State University. I have had the opportunity to play with such symphonies such as the Shreveport Symphony, New Orleans Community Orchestra, Midland/Odessa Symphony, the EAC Symphony and I am now a member of the North Valley Symphony.

When will I start to see results?
Results happen very gradually over a long period of time. Sometimes, since we hear ourselves play everyday when practicing, it's difficult to notice improvement over a long period of time, because the progress is so gradual. Because of this, I recommend that the student record a video of themselves playing every once in a while. If you practice consistently over a long period of time, you might be shocked at how much progress you've made when you look back at your videos from the past.
That being said, I think most students can start seeing significant improvements in their playing within 2-3 months! Of course, progress in entirely dependent on practicing effectively, very consistently, over a long period of time. You can see results even sooner if you are motivated to practice really hard.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child enjoys playing their instrument and wants to improve, they are ready to start lessons in my opinion. Good practicing and improvement comes when one applies the knowledge they have learned into their playing, and private lessons are the absolute best way to do this. Also, building good technical habits from the beginning is so crucial, and having a private teacher to keep checking on and adjusting the students technique can be so incredibly helpful. Because of this, I believe one should begin lessons as soon as there is a clear motivation to improve, as private lessons are the best way to achieve that improvement.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice slowly! That's the best piece of advice I have for practicing effectively. Slow practice allows you to focus on the detail of everything you do, from how your bow is working, to left hand intonation, tone production, articulation and more- slow practice enables you to zoom in and work on much more detail than you could at a faster tempo. And slow practice doesn't have to be boring! In fact, I'm a firm believer that practice should never be boring. Slow practice is a chance to explore music up close in personal, and you get to really decide what you want to say with a piece. I also believe that experimentation is so crucial to make good progress in the practice room. You have to try things you haven't tried before every day, always trying to push your limits. You never know if something works for you or not if you haven't tried it, and cello playing is so depende
