Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
In order to succeed at the keyboard, a student's technique must be ahead of their literature. This is why I use a well-developed system of technical exercises that are easy to understand and implement that allows the student to quickly gain mastery of the instrument. These techniques were thoroughly developed and taught by my mentor, Dr. Jill Sprenger, and I have seen students of all types succeed with them. I also use a self-paced program of theory skills and ear-training exercises that complement the wide variety of literature that excites each student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
Every student has their own interest and learn with their own pace. I teach them based on what they need to learn and give them what they want to play. I pay attention to students' basic technique and postures as I believe that having a good basic foundation helps you build up your skill and will help you improve. It's important to develop a good practice habits. Always think and plan before practice, set a goal for each session. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Organ
I've been in the field of music education, production and performance for over 20 years. I have spent half of my life helping others find their path in music. One of the most important lessons I have learned as a teacher is that...."people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care!!!!" I understands that building a relationship with a student is just as important as the information I teach. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching style is just like most I think. I don't rush with the students. Always trying to go slow and make sure the students understands everything. I've gotten pretty good at figuring out when the students get what I'm trying to teach. If I feel like I'm going to fast I'll stop think about what I'm doing and slow down. It's easy to talk to fast and rush as a teacher because I've taught so many students. Read More

Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience dates back to when I was in middle school, and I taught my neighbor's kids. Since then, I have had several piano students. I have also worked for a school district as a Substitute Teacher where I had the opportunity to teach a variety of subjects and work with a multitude of students. I would like to expand on my private teaching experience, as teaching and playing piano have always come naturally to me. Read More
Instruments: Trombone
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
- turn off the TV or internet when practicing. Focus!
- 5 minutes a day of focused practice is better than an hour of just messing around.
- be sure to play some music....not just a bunch of exercises all the time!
- play scales slowly at first in order to hear your tuning and pitches. Speed can come later.
- rest when tired. Then, do some more.
- use a metronome quite often
- use play-along recording
- record yourself once in awhile (use phone, iPad, digital recorder, etc.)
Best advice ever:
If you miss one day, you'll know it. You miss two days, your teacher knows. Miss three....the audience knows it!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They should want to do it to some degree. If they're forced into it, they won't enjoy themselves and will end up resenting music lessons.
For trombone, being 'too small' could be a problem, unfortunately. Maybe they need to start on the trumpet if they're too young to physically pick up a trombone. But, you could buy a lightweight 'P-Bone' (made of plastic...and it plays!)
When will I start to see results?
Beginners: within 30 minutes. (expectations have to be realistic with beginners. If they get off to a good start with lessons, then they'll know what to work on in order to make some progress.
High school students: if they don't take the horn home from school and practice, well....sorry....it'll be erratic progress.
Adults: with dedication, they could be playing in any kind of ensemble they dream of within 5 years at a totally professional level. Maybe even sooner. They could have the stamina to play in a simple rock band horn section in a year if they kept at it...again, maybe sooner. Every individual is different.
* sometimes, having a teacher help you find a better mouthpiece that works for you and your horn can be a 'miracle cure'! I've gone through the mouthpiece search many times, and I know that it is vitally important to have a mouthpiece that works for you....not against you!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mother....she was a professional piano player/teacher/accompanist.
I grew up listening to great music from birth. After high school, I was 'lost' in thinking of what to do or study. Then, a light bulb came on inside me....music!....it's what I'm always listening to and thinking of anyways.
My mother helped me get caught up on my music theory in order to audition for university music school.
And, she played for my recitals as well. Couldn't have done it without her!
