Instruments: Piano Accordion Music Keyboard
I have been teaching for about as long as I've been a trained musician. I believe that teaching is just as valuable to the teacher as it is the student. Teaching and tutoring is something that is ingrained in me, I love answering questions and explaining what makes something in music important and exciting. I find myself frequently tutoring and teaching in all areas of music whether it be piano, accordion, theory, composition, etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I will be the first to admit I don't have a set method for teaching. However that is because I choose different methods based on the student. Every child, adult, teenager, etc learns at a different pace, has a different educational preference and I adjust myself to meet the needs of the student. Some will learn better by ear, others will learn through a traditional study of notes. I prefer my students to work hard but at their own pace and to teach them in a way that's beneficial to them and not myself. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I began teaching 5 years ago in college, and have been offering lessons on guitar and piano since then. I've found that teaching lessons either one on one or in a small group allows me to introduce concepts and facilitate student's growth in an individualistic manner, both in pace and content. Some of my best teachers encouraged me to explore, learn, and write music I really like and want to share with others; Read More
Instruments: Piano Music
Ive been also teaching piano for 8 years privately and at music academies to students from young children to adults at beginning to advanced levels. Working with different individuals always expands my way of teaching and my perspectives on how to share and teach. It's an ever-lasting renewing game. Ive been learning a lot from my students by exchanging my perspectives musically and practically with them who all hold different perspectives and different passions and goals, and I am grateful for that.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I use Standard of Excellence books with my students and I look for appropriate repertoire for the clarinet and saxophone. I choose music that is at the proper level for the student I am teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music
I have been teaching privately for the past 15 years and I have had students of all ages and levels. I strongly encourage young children to have good and constant practice habits as this not only helps to succeed in the pieces they are working on, but it makes music learning all the more enjoyable! I do focus mostly on a classical and traditional approach of teaching but I am always open to working on specific music a student may want to learn as well. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
That depends on what the student is looking for. If they're a beginner and already have a book we'll typically work out of any material they already have. I will likely supplement that with other books and hand made materials when the time comes for that. While many times the content of a book may not be exactly what I want, I can utilize exercises or songs to introduce new concepts for the student to work on. Likewise, I may decide to edit the content of a book to suit the needs of a student. Many times the content may jump over some crucial technical element that needs to be addressed for the student.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I almost always start off with tuning my instrument. If the tuning is good I will take a little time to sit down and clean my fingernails up. I mostly play classical guitar so getting the shape of the nail suitable and clean will help me produce the tone I want. From there I focus on each hand individually. For both hands I keep it simple and focused so that I can focus on good tone production and technique. From there I will work on scales, arpeggios, repertoire, and performing. This way I'm sure to continue working on improving my technical abilities and the music that I wish to perform.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have two degrees in Music. I bachelor degree is in recording technology. I wanted to pursue that as a degree because I had played in bands and did recording of our own. I wanted to get to know the industry and better understand the technology, science, and art of recording. My master degree is in classical guitar performance. While pursuing my bachelor degree i was required to study classical guitar. As my studies progressed I developed a strong appreciation for the style. By the time I graduated I wanted to study more and perform more than be a recording technician.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to play bass in a band a play Rubberband Man by Detroit Spinners. I love how groovy that song is!. The song isn't too complicated but it's just really well put together. Whenever that song comes on I can't stop my body from moving the until it stops. So I think it was just be fantastic to groove so hard and never stop moving while jamming on the bass. This is going to sound goofy, but I would also want everyone in the band to have synchronized movements too. That way everyone is having a blast!
