Music can be very complex, but it also can be very simple when broken down into parts. As a former soccer/football coach, I focus on mastery of the fundamentals thru consistency. The lesson is where you learn how to build the house, but it is in the short, concentrated bursts of daily practice that the most growth occurs. My instruction will give you the confidence and accountability to grow as a musician so that you can enjoy your craft as much as I do. Read More

As I continue to develop as an educator, my focus has moved towards a more student-centered learning process. Students learn musically in all different ways including visual, kinesthetic, aural, and oral modalities. It is up to the teacher to figure out in which ways a particular student learns best. In some cases, a method book such as the Bastien Method may be best and for others, a more free style of learning may work better. Read More

I have been with Musika in the Nashville/Brentwood area for ten years after a twelve year hiatus from teaching. Before touring as a full-time artist starting in 1998 I had already taught piano and voice for fourteen years in the Los Angeles area. Some of my former students are themselves music teachers and professional musicians. I can give recommendations if need be. I have been a professional musician for over thirty years. Read More

My teaching style is completely dependent on the needs and goals of the student. However, the structure of all my lessons are similar. Half of each lesson will be dedicated to technique and half of the lesson will be dedicated to a piece/tune that the student has chosen and wants to work on. I structure my lessons this way so that way the student has agency in their own learning and can learn the things they want to learn, while also building a strong technical foundation Read More

At the student's first lesson, I do a lot of observing. I like to find out their mobile dexterity, what they may already know about music or their instrument, and go from there. I'll usually decide with the student what their goals and objectives for their instrument will be so that they have something to work towards. As a teacher who is big on encouragement, I use a rewards method. Read More

I've always found that my students who seem to have the most fun are the ones who progress the fastest, so my primary method is to approach lessons with material that students are interested in. I try to keep things fun and interesting by doing things such as incorporating a student's favorite music into a lesson. It's important for a student to practice regularly with discipline and focus. However based on my experience, nothing propels a student forward faster than the happiness and satisfaction gained from 'nailing' a new lick or figuring out a cool new trick. Read More
