Nothing is more exciting than seeing one my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. " The slower you go, the faster you'll get there" - John Link Read More

Originating from East Chicago, IN, I've known since 3rd grade that I wanted to build a career in music. Over the years I've been able to find my niche, and focus on engineering, composing, and playing live. I've recently come to really enjoy teaching. I find pure joy in watching students make even the slightest improvements (provided they practice :). Everyone that I've taught has walked away with a better understanding of music, empowering them to advance in ways they would otherwise not be able to. Read More

I currently teach music part-time at two Montessori elementary schools in the Southeast Valley which include after-school music classes and private lessons. I am the Worship Pastor at RPFChurch in Tempe, AZ where I play guitar and direct the worship team. I love to share my passion for music with every student and encourage them to enjoy playing their chosen instrument. I am also involved in reforming music education by writing methods and curriculum which make music fun, accessible and relevant to all ages. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For piano students who have already been playing and/or taking lessons, I usually start from where they left off with their former teacher. I then gently guide them to the Faber books or continue using the series they're comfortable with, depending on the needs of the student. I find that consistency helps encourage the student, giving them confidence that they can be successful. For my voice students, I usually start them with proper breathing techniques. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My practice session encompasses several parts. I always begin with technical exercises, like scales, arpeggios and octave study. I use Hanon and sometimes finger exercises. I vary them so I don't work on each one daily.
After my muscles are warmed up I work on the individual compositions. My programs always consist of a selection of different composers from many classical through modern periods and styles. I choose to focus on a particular section. My practice involves separate hands, different tempi and dynamics.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had several piano and general music teachers in both private and school setting study.
Not one teacher inspired me to major in music. Each had a different specialty and style of teaching. In my early years, my teacher held group recitals. I loved the excitement of performing and it was fun to be in the spotlight. In high school I had taken AP courses and liked learning theory. In college I was taught by professional artists who were outstanding as performers and composers. I remember fondly when Arthur Rubinstein gave a Master Class.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The best results are achieved with daily practice. It is sometimes hard to find the time to practice every day. But instead of skipping a day, establish a shorter period of practice. To be efficient, ask yourself, "What do I need to focus on today?" Maybe it is a section of a piece, or a technique that is new. Practicing can also be hearing the piece played. Youtube is a good helper. In addition, a lot can be gained by getting another person to listen. This suggestion can be used for both beginner, intermediate and advanced students.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Some children will ask for lessons because a friend of theirs is already learning.
In general, it is a good indication if your child is ready to start lessons if they show an interest in music. I have seen that all children gravitate to the music instruments they see in schools and special museums. Children just love to touch instruments and hear different sounds. They are naturally curious about creating different sounds. If you have ever gone to a house that has an instrument, see how they flock to it!
When will I start to see results?
Results take the shape in many different ways:
For the Parent of a child:
- seeing the continued interest in the child
- the student showing "off" by playing for friends and family
- the child telling the parent that they are having fun!
- the child's academic subjects in school show improvement
For the student:
- being able to read music
- being able to play a song
- being able to follow a piece of music while hearing it
- being able to sight read
- being able to perform either solo or with other musicians
