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
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Music
My methods are adaptable based on the student's previous or current instruction with private teachers or their school teachers. For all students I love to play along and model concepts for them. I involve a lot of kinesthetic movement based lessons along with visual and aural aids. I get to know the type of learner my student is and then plan my instruction to fit their learning style. I am a fan of etudes and short technical exercises as well as long tones for intermediate to advanced students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
For young students just beginning, I use a system of "music play" which includes games and engaging activities for the child to become interested in music. I borrow heavily from both Music Learning Theory and the Orff Method, as well as include games and ideas that I have found to be creative and educational. After this stage of learning, I start students on basic notation and sight reading, and learning what the notes on the page mean. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
I first started really getting into music when I was 13 and started playing drums and guitar, picking up piano a couple years later. In 2005 I graduated from the Journeyman Program in Musical Performance at Musicians Institute in Hollywood California. Since then I've been trying my hand at different musical endeavors such as playing in bands, writing my own music, composing for indie games as well as doing covers of my favorite old video game songs.

Instruments: Piano Drums Synthesizer Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
I have a dynamic and flexible teaching style and personality. It’s important for me to assess what kind of learner and individual each of my students is, and that informs how I form my lessons. I prefer to set goals for my students based on what they would like to achieve, and what inspires them to want to continue their musical studies. My broad base of knowledge can offer a complete understanding of the art and science of music. Read More

Having at least some goal in mind and working towards that musical goal will help a student achieve success in whatever they put forth on their instrument of choice as well as music as a whole. It will be ultimately extremely satisfying to express feelings through the notes as we take them from on the page to in the air. Sharing this joy of music will be also undeniably rewarding from student to student as well as performer to audience. 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.
