Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I sometimes fill in teaching in a theater class for vocals and guitar. My teaching experience goes back to my days trying to show my friends and family how to play a chord. I love composing my original material and I am always looking to teach new students! I have worked with children for almost ten years, but any age group is fine! I have some teaching experience, but mainly through Psychology. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My favorite moments while teaching is the light bulb moments, for these to occure lessons are goal based and created around the students level of exsperiece, future goals, and personal goals. In the first lesson we set mini goals for each lesson, medium goals for the month, and large goals for something we want to work towards or a up and coming competition. I use a positive environment to help student feel good about their accomplishments, but also have them discover areas of improvement by recording them or asking them what they feel they did well and what they feel they need to work on.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Double Bass Euphonium Tuba Orchestral Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For each instrument, I have the same basic approach: discover what they like, assess what they can do, and begin with the fundamentals. If a student is more advanced, I still like to spend time on fundamentals at the beginning anyway to see if we can fill in any foundational weakness that the student may have. For each instrument, I also have a wide array of repitoire that I give students that zero-in on technical challenges a student will be presented with. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Music
I believe that every child is born with music talent. You can notice that a child can dance or response to the music you played naturally. Thats all because they are born to be a musician, therefore we should put the utmost effort into educating them. And I believe that the earlier they receive the music education, the better music foundation they will have. Therefore, I hope to create a great music learning experience and offer quality education for my young students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Drums Electric Violin Fiddle Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Djembe Acoustic Guitar
For beginning students I always begin with a methods book, I believe that good fundamentals are what makes a good musician, but I also teach ear training methods thereby giving the student the best in both worlds. Once the fundamentals and foundation are efficient, then according to the instrument I move to solo repertoire or experimentation or interpretation. I believe finding a students passion and making the learning experience as educational and enjoyable as possible. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I like to use "Piano Adventures by Faber". Also I teach music theory and ear training. My students musical interests are important to me. I try to find materials that they will enjoy playing. Children must be thought not what to think but how to think. I ask my students to try to find the answer themselves not always giving them the answer. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I play and so does my younger brother. I had to work at playing in order to develop my love for music.
I have played for over 45 years and still enjoy it every day.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Since I was about 14 years old, I wanted to be a professional musician. At the time, my parents encouraged me to
pursue other fields due to their understanding of having a solid career with consistent earnings. When I was 28 years old,
I decided to listen to my life long calling to be a musician!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play guitar and piano. Early on I saw similarities to certain music. These similarities assisted my
musical education due to the fact I could see things from many different angles.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Something in the field of creative arts. I am most happy when I am working in an artistic field.
Have pursued a music career for over 30 years. My success is due to the fact that I love teaching
and have enjoyed music all of my life.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I enjoy rock, blues, jazz and country music. They all have elements of challenge and
I appreciate each of these styles. I am fluent in each style...I play what Im feeling for that day.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I like many songs. Most recently I have been playing ballads from Wes Montgomery and Eric Clapton.
It is fascinating to see how these songs were arranged.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like Mel Bay, Hal Leonard and my own books from Conduire Music Publishing.
I have written 8 top selling. books during the last 12 years that sell to students, teachers, professional instructors, University professors
and professional musicians from around the world.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Playing and practicing includes four main categories:
Learning chords, playing scales, studying music theory and playing
your favorite songs. Challenge yourself to new levels in all of these categories.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My education and area of study are business and customer service excellence.
I learned valuable math and finance skills in college which were the platform to understanding
the sustainability of a successful business.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Timing that is related to both technique and feel. I believe feel always outweighs technique in musical expression.
Feel is something that can be demonstrated, yet this has to be developed by the students.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had several students that are university graduates with Music Degrees.
Some of these are professional touring and recording artists today. Others are
successful studio musicians.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have had a life long interest in the principles of music theory.
Music theory provides formulas to understand what chords and scales
go together in musical composition.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My parents loved music. My teachers were all very accomplished musicians.
I learned correct information from each teacher and played musical styles I enjoyed.
Each of my teachers challenged me to pursue my desire to be a very good musician.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Guitar is the instrument that I felt most drawn to and comfortable with. I understood the
the shapes of chords and patterns of scales better on guitar than previous instruments.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Being consistent is the key to success. As you see your own progress, you will want to play more!
Playing the guitar is enjoyable, challenging and exciting.
When will I start to see results?
After the very first lesson. Progress is on-going. There are many types of success in playing music.
Playing songs, gaining self confidence, and also enjoying a positive activity.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child will continue to ask you about starting music lessons.
They will show you their desire to learn by following through with their
weekly assignments and learning songs.
