Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I was introduced to music early on by my parents. Being classically trained on the piano I started playing and writing songs at the tender age of seven. My early piano influences are Mozart, Beethoven and Gershwin amongst others. Growing up, I became even more influenced by Pop, R&B, Funk, and Rock artists from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Prince. As a teenager in high school, I performed recitals and played in rock bands, and picked up the guitar and drums to broaden my music repertoire. 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

As a teacher, it is always rewarding to see students not only improved and made progress but also to see them being focused and enjoy playing music. It's helpful if a teacher can create an inspiring environment that encourages students to try different things and to look for more possibilities of playing music. Students feel more motivated when they can find something interesting in music and they feel more accomplished when they are able to play the music they love. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I graduated from Kansas Wesleyan University in May of 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Theory and Composition. while there, I also studied violin and piano under renowned musicians and instructors. I had the opportunity to play in a national award-winning university orchestra, filling the roles of assistant concertmaster and principal second violin at various times. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
I am a native of Fort Worth, TX. I began playing and singing at the age of 11. I participated in music during school from elementary to college. My accomplishments include placing first place in solo and ensemble, marching band contest, jazz band contest, etc. I have also established my own band and group who performs in the DFW metroplex. I have played in church since I was 12 years old. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I believe in making teaching fun and tend to try to break larger skills into smaller bite sized pieces that build upon one another. My goal is to allow students to pursue their musical interests while also making sure a solid foundation is being established in terms of the way music actually works (music theory) and what types of motions allow for efficient and safe production of sound (technique). I encourage composition and creative play at all levels of musical development. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard
My teaching style is more hands on approach, I have a lot of opportunities for my students to perform. I believe that actually playing the instrument will make them better players and performers. Even when a student sign up for private lessons, I have opportunities for them to perform in groups. I think that students learn better when they have the chance to perform in a group. I also hold master classes for the students to learn from. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Guitar has always been my first love. I love to sing and so it became a natural progression for me. In the 80’s however, an accident took my left ring finger out of the equation. I worked very hard to work around this handicap and now I play guitar better than ever today. My mentor for years kept trying to convince me to switch to bass guitar because of this handicap. He turned me on to a book called the Evolving Bassist by Rufus Reid and quoted a passage that essentially said Bass players only need three fingers. I gave in and never looked back. I still play guitar often but have found a new voice in the bottom end. I no longer have to compete with much better four fingered guitar players and have become a much better lead player in the process.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
After losing a finger on my string hand in a machining accident, I spent years trying to make a comeback. I am proud of myself for having the fortitude to retrain my hand to do with three fingers what it knew with four. With hard work I have become much better than I ever thought of being before the accident. I believe as far as personal accomplishment, I think there has been no greater joy than to be able to bring others into a place of joy and happiness and worship. Music has a way of getting inside you and for me, playing, teaching, and performing create in me a feeling that I am doing what I was born to do. Not all of us reach the pinnacle of success in music but that is not what it is about for me. We are on a great mountain here. Some reach the summit, others continue the climb. My hope is to help my students get a leg up on that climb by helping arming them with the tools to reach their personal and professional goals. Being able to effectively give this to others I think is my greatest musical achievement.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Over the years I cannot recall if any of my students have received special honors or rewards but I do know many of them have gone on to be fine musicians, instructors, and worship pastors. As I have gotten older it has been quite enjoyable to watch as the "changing of the guard" has occurred. They are not kids anymore and they have taken the mantle of leadership well. I am proud to be a part of the foundation has led to successful application of their talents. It is a silent, unseen reward for me, but it is one of the most fulfilling award I have ever received.
