Instruments: Piano Guitar Harmonica Recorder Keyboard
My choices in books and other resources for the student are based primarily on the students' individual goals, needs, and interests. Generally, I approach the subject matter with firm but relaxed expectations, giving the students freedom but also requiring them to pursue a specified goal. This may include allowing the student to take a break from a challenging piece if necessary, to let their mind calm down and refocus while they practice a different piece with different requirements.

Instruments: Piano
Since beginning piano lessons myself when I was seven, I have been sharing my love of music with everyone all around me. I've been teaching lessons formally for the two years since I left college, and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Working with new students is always such a humbling experience, because it challenges me as a teacher to approach old problems with a fresh perspective. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching method begins with fundamentals. First, I teach about the piano itself. Second, I teach the notes. Third, I teach tones and steps. Fourth, I teach about major and minor scales. After I lay that foundation for the student I continue with theory and note identification. The student is ready to take off from there. I usually at this point let them select a song to play as well as I assign music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I love teaching, and I do so with both encouragement and humor. I realize that not everyone can is able or willing to practice six hours a day, so I work with each student individually to find their pace. I am happy teaching both competitive students (I have had several students participate successfully in the ABRSM exams) and students who play purely for enjoyment. My favorite piano methods are Piano Adventures and Piano Pronto, and I like to combine both of them. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the instrument is true humility. True humility hurts and is painful to ego because ego in the life of the artist is sometimes mistaken as identity. Getting to a place where you love being corrected and hearing what's wrong in your approach is a vulnerable, but also the most powerful place to be as an artist because humility is the boost in clarity that truly makes the sky the limit.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose performance because I wanted to play the instrument. My understanding is that true knowledge comes from experience. I've cultivated an entire approach based on doing, then teaching. My students are effective in their creative pursuits because they are attacking their deficiencies from a place of experiencing freedom. Practice for a performer is designed to unlock all creative possibilities to be free in expression while on the bandstand.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I couldn't get away from the drums if I tried. The drums chose me and I have been working things out for over 35 years now. Rhythms are constantly going through my head and I have a love for numbers and synchronization. Music is the best way to tie all those skill sets together.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes!! Dr. Mondre Moffett inspired me to be the kind of teacher that helps people find their own creative voice by analyzing the creative voices of the master musicians that have come before me. His method showed me I had a place in this long line of creative Continuum and that I only needed to be honest with myself at all times so I could accurate track my own progress.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know when your child is ready for lessons when they show a consistent expression of music in some way. It may be singing, tapping on things, or constantly trying to play an instrument you have laying around.
When will I start to see results?
Immediately!! If you record yourself and are under the right tutelage to teach you what to look for. All you have to do is compare what you're doing to the original recording of what you're trying to play. Either you are a going to sound like the recording or there will be a gap in achievement that can be filled through consistent and focused practice.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The key to effective practice is honesty with yourself about deficiencies. If you can be honest about where you need to get better, you have a clear target to go after and will improve consistently with speed.
