Instruments: Piano
I have always had a deep appreciation for music. This led me to learn to play piano, beginning at age 5. By age 7, I was writing pieces of my own. In highschool, I found that I enjoyed teaching piano to others. After college, I opened my own business, which I ran from the end of my first deployment, until the beginning of my second deployment (I am a National Guardsman), called CMPPC. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I teach from 4 years old to adults, novice to advanced levels. My lessons are totally personalized to meet each student's desire, needs and capability. The pace of the lessons should be adjusted for each student. I review and access each student's understanding and progress in each lesson, and design a personalized assignment and lesson plan for the next lesson. Acknowledging accomplishment makes the student confidence and fuel the student's desire to progress. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

After that I received a bachelors degree in Jazz Studies from the University of North Texas and then a masters degree in trumpet performance from the University of Texas at Arlington. I keep a busy schedule as a freelance musician and perform regularly with the Dallas Jazz Orchestra. I also do the occasional the tour with different groups. One of the highlights of my career so far has been headlining with The Polyphonic Spree at the Marvin Festival in Mexico City in 2016! Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
My experience with teaching began during my undergraduate studies. I have worked with students in the classroom teaching elementary music as well as at the middle school and high school level teaching choir. In addition, I have taught my closest friends in piano and organ. While I was the staff accompanist at a high school, I taught the treble choir and gave piano and voice lessons during off-periods. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching, especially when I see that students are inspired by music and are willing to take on the task of mastering their craft. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
I'm a dedicated music educator that wants to help students bring out their full potential on their instrument. In 2018, I graduated from Baylor University with a Bachelor of Music Education. While at Baylor, I was a member of the trombone studio under Brent Phillips. I played in all the instrumental ensembles avaliable to play in as a trombonist. I also studied piano as my secondary instrument in college. Because of playing musical instruments, I have had the opportunity to play in numerous of band and orchestra concerts, marching shows, and sporting events. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
My methods for new students is to find out exactly what level they are at and accomidate. I have a collection of different books for children and for older students we can dive right in to a certain style. I do believe that every musician should have a stong understanding of the foundations. With a stong theory background I can push students to where they want to go. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play drums because I love rhythm.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, my beautiful 83 year old grandmother loves to dance!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew it was what I wanted to do because of how good I feel when I see my students succeed at meeting their goals to learn voice or guitar.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be a vet because I love animals;-)
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love to play Gospel, Blues, Rock & Reggae. The rhythms and melodies are unique, captivating and powerful. And these are fun to play as well as musical theatre, I love singing in musical theatre.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I am in the process of obtaining a 2nd degree in Jazz Vocal Performance.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
My methods will be based on the students progress. It's better to meet the student where they are on their journey than to push them ahead of their own self development. I aim to nurture and encourage as well as inspire my students to grow and develop their craft and creativity.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Focusing on what you need to learn, each element of the instrument in order to master the craft. 20 minutes of practice to 30 minutes each day, focusing on a single thing until you can comfortably move on to the next item.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For guitar, I think pinch harmonics is very difficult to master (not impossible), but it will take much practice. And for vocals, I believe whistle notes can be difficult to master. I can sing whistle notes, but it takes practice and dedication to have that muscle memory to consistently deliver.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am a praise leader in my church, I have a professional band and I am constantly learning as should all musicians/singers, and I'm proud of all of my accomplishments.
A few years ago, I got the lead role as the Scarecrow in a children's production of The Wizard of Oz in an off Broadway theatre in NYC. It was a great show, musical theatre at it's best.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, his name is Mr. Manor. He inspired me be helping me to believe in myself, my talent and my own unique creativity.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I love the to sing (Voice) and I love the sound and range of the guitar.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child expresses interest in music, vocal, guitar, they are ready to start learning.
When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results after about a week or 2 depending on the student's ability to practice and help in the development of their talent.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It is very important to practice at least 3-5 days a week. At least 30 minutes a day should be dedicated to focused practice so that you can develop the talent you are learning, and memorize the skills needed to succeed. Practice is an effective way to get better at your craft.
