Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I see no difference between method and style so I will just try to add more to what has already been mentioned. I think of myself as very supportive and encouraging but I believe in having standards. When a student does well I applaud them and let them know how happy I am to see their progress. I will also let a student know when they are not doing well and not meeting some reasonable expectations. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Faber's Piano Adventures or Suzuki's Piano School, however I am open to other books. Faber focuses more on written and piano practice whereas Suzuki focuses on auditory learning and piano practice. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I teach all styles of music. I begin teaching from piano books published by Alfred. I also have the student learn their scales as well as give a weekly written music theory assignment. I incorporate styles and songs the student enjoys listening to or playing as well. I like to teach classical music. With this foundation, ALL other music is much easier to play, and helps tremendously with their sight reading skills. Read More

I always say that rhythm is more important than the notes. Play the right rhythm and the notes will come instead of playing every right note while sacrificing rhythm. I encourage students to make their mistakes loud, proud, and in rhythm so everyone has a better idea of what needs to be worked on most. I also emphasize isolating parts to practice and working backwards. Example: play the last two bars of the song until comfortable with it, now play the last 4 bars, last 6, last 8...etc., whole song.

I first started teaching at age 17, whilst in the UK, and continued to do so through college and University, I am also now a working Musical Director, which involves musicianship instruction and voice technique. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I couldn't imagine my life without teaching. To nurture a love for music in another, especially a child, is a gift I would not give up. I strive to find the correct balance of technique and performance, practice and play, focus and fun for each of my students. Every one of them comes to me with different skills, ambitions, and needs; building honest, open relationships with student, parent, and teacher is essential to meeting those needs. Read More
Instruments: Voice Music
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Being creative under time management is one thing artist sometimes struggle on. Depending on the skill development of the artist, timelines vary upon completion of projects. Times may vary from two days to two weeks, again also may depend on the artist and they type of project being worked on.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have many accomplishments that I have achieved, but the ones that stick out the most are performing at the Miss Black Ohio Pageant, also being nominated and performing at the 2018 Poze Productions XMAs. Next to those accomplishments if would be winning 2019 Recording Label Of The Year for GlobalFamily Productions
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Greedy Reem was the first breakout artist from Juan Rhymez & One Mic Empowerment. He has competed in competitions where he was placed #1 and labeled 2019 Artist Of The Year. Recklezz Zay, as known as GoGetEm soon followed after with alliances from Brothers By Loyalty and LILBRONEM Ent. Current rising artist from the label are now JIM BEAN, SPAZZOUT, DELL2SOLID, Jondoe Montanaa, RYNWillsavage and many more.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My primary instruments are my own voice, microphone, and logic pro X software. Beside the usual pen/pencil and a pad to jot down my lyrics, or I may used a app on my phone to capture my thoughts if none are of available.
When will I start to see results?
With continued practice and effort, results could almost be instant, but advancement and quality very much depends on the progression of the artist and what they are looking to achieve.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My music industry peers happen to be prior hip hop legends that I still to this very listen to. I grew up listening to 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G, Ludacris, Scarface, Master P, and Jay-Z. Each of these artist have done well for themselves and help bring along and produce other outstanding talent. From their success and failures I have grasp the concept of being a musical producer while maintaining an artist career of my own. As well as I record their music, I also educate them on Business Management of their careers. Most artist just want to rap, and let someone else do the footwork, I show have to be a independent artist and be your own manager.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A desired passion is something that sometimes goes unnoticed until it hits you in the face. Most times a "star" is born at first glimpse, while others make take a little bit more time to develop.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My motto is "Practice makes for Perfection when Perfection is Practiced." Consistency is key and effort is everything; practicing is, and should be a everyday routine. Without it, there can be no progress in progression.
