Instruments: Piano Drums
My teaching style focuses on learning and playing in a musical fashion. Whether the student is playing and exercise or a composition it always should sound musical. I want my students to internalize what they are playing so that it can become a part of them. They should become one with the music. I set realistic goals which will change along with the progression of the student. I believe in giving them positive feedback along with constructive critiques. Read More

Minimally, beginner students can expect to learn how to read notes, play basic exercises, and train their sense of pitch, while intermediate and advanced students will study more complex music theory, technical exercises, and improvisation. All students will also learn how to practice efficiently so as to maintain a consistent rate of growth along their musical journeys. Essential materials for all students include: a scale and arpeggio book, a binder to store new music, and a notebook to write assignments and any other important information learned in lessons.

I use anything and everything. Repertoire is very important and we can have fun with that. I am laid back yet demanding.

I like giving my students the right tools,lesson by lesson,enabling them to proceed through the learning process.I usually start observing what the student come up with,wether on drums or piano and then I use their natural talent or inspiration to connect to my teaching path .This way I'm able to really engage with them,keeping them on that inspiration that brought them to me.I always try to adapt my style to the student inclinations since some of them are more for instinctive learning others more for academic learning.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Have you ever seen the movie Mr. Holland’s Opus? If you haven’t, go find it immediately. That movie is about an educator who touched more lives than he ever could have imagined over the course of 30 years.
I am extremely lucky because I have many Mr. Holland’s Opus teachers in my life.
My favorite voice teacher ever is Richard Poppino. He was my voice teacher, opera director, and department head at OSU. He was the first teacher that made me believe I had a future performing. We still remain great friends and I consider him a wonderful mentor. He is one of many who have propelled me into my career.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I am a firm believer that there is a difference between working hard and working smart.
To practice effectively, you have to be able to identify what needs to most work. After pin pointing that, you put in the most work there. Often this is “the hardest” phrase of the piece and it just needs a little extra love.
Singing a song over and over again does not equal effective practicing.
Skipping out on practicing, while tempting, is also not effective.
My best advice is to have a set practice time and stick to it.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The best way to tell if your child is ready is if they want to. If they are interested in singing. If they gravitate towards music.
In my own technique, I adjust to what my students need and therefore I will never be overwhelming them with anything they aren’t ready for.
In my own background, I started out with different music lessons in my childhood and didn’t start taking proper voice lessons until my voice was quite developed.
While I got a lot of what I needed from the multiple choirs I was a part of, the main thing I missed out on was repertoire! And having someone one on one to help tailor what I should be singing.
The short answer is that I am a professional singer, no matter, but I did hit roadblocks in my youth that held me behind the competition.
When will I start to see results?
This is not a one size fits all question or answer. Referring back to the question about effective practicing, results can only be found once you’ve put in the effort. However, I’ve had students be instantly surprised immediately if I’ve helped access something they’ve never experienced before. This could be a very simple adjustment or it could be hitting a note they had no idea they had in them.
This is very much dependent on the rapport between teacher and student and the effort and preparation each have brought to the table.
