Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I've loved teaching since I first tried it in high school, when I mentored my own friends in the art of drumming. It's the perfect gig; I get to nerd out every day about the musical things that I'm passionate about with my students! Since graduating from the University of Miami with a Bachelor of Music degree in Studio Music and Jazz / Drum Set Performance, I've also kept busy performing at SXSW, Capitol Hill Block Party, Bumbershoot, Treefort, BAMF! and numerous Florida-based festivals.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I have been teaching private lesson on and off since I was in college. I have taken the last few years off to complete my graduate education and begin my formal teaching career. I believe that encouraging my students to find fun in practice by choosing music that keeps the students interested. This means taking music from both the classical and popular repertoires. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I teach not only how to play the instrument proficiently, but how to play it musically. Techniques and proficiency are taught along side musicianship, expression and appreciation for all musical styles. Students are also assigned a Question of the Week and a Listening Assignment to enhance their knowledge of their instrument, its function in music, and about music as a whole. Read More

I've been a musical director of K-8th grade private school as well as substituting for local band teachers .During that time I taught children all aspects of music, as well as preparing them for recitals and competitions. I've taught students privately at my home studio for more than 20 years, many of my students have gone on to further their education at the university level. I've worked with schools in developing after school music programs that have been successful. Read More

No matter where the student starts from, I always spend a significant amount of time in the first lesson discussing with them what they want to gain, what they are interested in, and how much time and effort they want to put into this endevor. It is important to me to understand the student so that I can cater to their needs and desires, and hopefully encourage them to continue playing music. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I recommend playing a piece that is known to give one the chance to start thinking musically. Then do technical studies for five to ten minutes (as appropriate to knowledge level). After that one should work on current literature that is being learnt. To end a session I would suggest playing something one likes to leave oneself with a positive feeling.
My favorite rule is the Eleven Minute rule. If you have trouble with a passage, or are trying to memorize something do it for eleven minutes and then stop and do something else such as play that sog you really like.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
1) When they have the desire to play
2) When they have suitable physical development to do so.
a) violin and piano can be started at three to four years of age if you are willing to put in the time to
teach them the discipline of practice without making them hate it
b) age six is a good time to start piano for the average child
c) age eight is the earliest I recommend starting guitar, but there are exceptions.
d) age ten is a good general age for beginning music, particularly for wind instruments.
3) If you want your child to play music talk to them about it before they reach the above ages and
and observe if they are getting excited about the idea.
When will I start to see results?
Results vary depending on the individual. However, if the student is eager for the next lesson this indicates that they are motivated. In general I give a student three months to see if they are making satisfactory progress. Results can be seen earlier but that is the point where I decide if a different approach should be used.
In 2002 I had two fifteen year old girls start guitar. Initially I thought girl A was going to excel and girl B was not going to do as well. At the end of three months they both showed good progress but girl A was more skilled. At the end of a year they were both equally matched. In the second year girl A dropped but girl B continued until she graduated from high school and in the end was the better musician.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
At age six I asked for piano lessons. I did not get them but my parents sporadically would guide me. No one individual inspired me I just wanted to play music from an early age.
When I started clarinet in fifth grade I admired my band teacher and followed what he said as if he was the fount of all knowledge.
I never did get the lessons I repeatedly asked for and so know what it is like to not have a skilled voice guide one to achieve ones musical goals. You can do a lot with teaching yourself but there are always gaps in your knowledge and skills because there is not someone there to guide you.
