Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Each person is unique. I like to start my lessons by getting to know my students through assessing where their passion(s) lie. I know that each student progresses at their own pace. I help them set realistic goals through the development of lessons that serve as a measurement for growth. I believe in giving positive reinforcement to my students because as fun as playing the music is, I find that it can be a tough process when trying to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning students, I focus on building a solid foundation of vocal technique (including: breath, resonance, posture, register, and diction). We build this foundation through singing pieces that the student is familiar with and lots of vocal exercises. At the same time, I like to introduce basic music theory concepts. I typically start with Alfred's Basic Piano Prep Course Theory. Upon grasping and understanding fundamentals, I will begin to introduce repertoire from different styles of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Double Bass Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching for the last 14 years for other music schools as well as my home studio. I love to help new students from the ages of 4-99 in learning the joys of playing an instrument or instruments that they are going to enjoy. Nothing truly satifies me more than to see a student advance in their insturment as each lessons passes by. Daily quality and not quantity practice is something I like to encourage the student to be able to advance much faster in mastering the instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
The child learns value of the notes and sight reading even at a very young age they are able to learn. 6-adult I use a variety of books Faber, because it is very creative and the songs are very fun. Bastien when the child desires to learn key signatures, chords, I teach them in hand positions to help them feel comfortable in learning piano high Schoolers and adults I use Bastien and Alfred.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Synthesizer Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
Admittedly limited, my teaching experience started when I was in High School when I became the marching Band's trumpet section leader. I really enjoyed sharing my knowledge and experience with otherswatching people grow in their musicianship is an incredible reward for me and I'd love to experience it more in my life! In college, I once again assumed the role of student and absorbed everything that I could. Now that I am graduate, I am very ready to share that with those who would have it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Saxophone Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Harmonica Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My focus with each student is to tune into them in a way that I can then assess their physical, mental and emotional abilities. I ask each student what they want to learn with their instrument. If they do not know, we then start with the basics to establish a solid foundation in music with their instrument. Along the way, I ask the student what kind of music they like. Read More

I have taught some students while attending Morgan State University in Baltimore, MD. I've also taught a master class to university students in Colombia, South America while on tour with the Morgan State Jazz Combo. I enjoy teaching to all ages! Read More
Instruments: Voice Drums
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Vocalistss have different endurance thresholds but I strongly feel that novice to intermediate singers avoid singing for more than 20 minutes per session and no more than one hour to 90 minutes total per day. It is important to take intermittent breaks to keep your voice from tiring or becoming damaged. More advanced students who are interested in additional musicianship skills like ear training and sight reading should practice these objectives on musical instruments to maintain vocal health and stamina.
For example, advanced singers can practice playing different chord types and voicings on piano or guitar during their warm-up. Most vocal warm-up patterns move chromatically (in half-steps) so this allows the opportunity to practice both harmonic ear training and basic piano skills simultaneously. If piano or guitar is your second instrument then you can study theory and harmony on those instruments while you rest your voice. Rhythmic ear training can be accomplished with a drum pad and a pair of sticks. There’s no need to sing everything you need to practice!
Drummers warm up by playing rudimental sticking patterns for 10-20 minutes on the practice pad. If the student is studying traditional snare drum technique then the second part of the practice session would be playing etudes from an appropriate text. The third part of a drummer's practice regimen is practicing drum grooves (beats) on the full set. This would, of course, include the student's musical style(s) of interest.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My parents were actually quite musical and their library of recordings at home offered me a diverse palette of musical idioms to listen to while growing up. My mother was a tap dancer who performed on stage with her two sisters when she was a youngster. I remember her teacher my sister and I how to "hoof" to the song "East Side, West Side," which I can still perform to this day. Mom also enjoyed singing jazz standards from the American Songbook. She took voice lessons and I used sneak into the library to listen to the reel-to-reel tape recordings she made when she practiced her repertoire to the old Music Minus One vinyl discs. My father surprised us one day when he came home with a full set of drums. We had no idea that he played as a child. On a whim he had decided to revisit his love for Gene Krupa. I think many of my drumming ideas were inspired from watching him play traditional jazz swing.
