Instruments: Piano Saxophone Bass Guitar
It is my philosphopy that all people have the capacity to learn -- although not everyone learns at the same rate or in the same way. I believe in student-centric teaching meaning I try to find out what the student's goals are and then modify my curriculum to their unique learning style. No two lessons are the same! Read More

I have studied vocal performance for about 15 years now, and I've got experience teaching all styles, from classical and musical theater to rock, pop, jazz, country, and various folk styles.

I have over 75 Five-Star reviews across various online platforms that speak to my effectiveness, and many of them note my attention to detail and warm, welcoming environment. Read More

Beginners are started using a Essential Elements or a book similar to this one. It has been a successful and useful tool for beginners. Beginners to advanced players will work on technique, range studies, musical styles and solo repertoire. Student interests are an integral part of what is studied in the lesson. Each lesson is specifically tailored for that student. Read More

I teach always. I teach by example, and I teach formally. My formal teaching background begins in church when I was 19. I did my mom a favor and started teaching/leading the children's choir. It was fun, I enjoyed it thoroughly, and our 2 performances went GREAT! It gave me a taste for it so I became an actual teacher in the SMCISD school district as a Focus Teacher (Special Education).

I've been teaching in a number of different situations for about 4 years now. I first began teaching in 2010 when I worked at the Magik Children's Theater in San Antonio as an instructor for a School of Rock class there. In this class, I taught beginning students on guitar, bass, keys, and drums how to play popular rock songs. I worked at the Magik Children's Theater for 2 years before moving to California where I worked as a Teaching Assistant and a full time instructor for a number of theory/musicianship classes at the California Institute of the Arts.

I am a passionate and dedicated musician with a broad range of experiences both in education and performance. As a solo artist, I have toured the United States extensively, and have performed at festivals in the Caribbean and Denmark. Having performed and taught music in so many styles, I feel I can bring a lot of perspective to each lesson. I earned my Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Texas in 2015, and have really settled in to the Central Texas community. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Let's first slow it down and play it right
and musically. Let's also work on the more difficult parts of the pieces. How about playing for some else. Let make it musical. I love using selected solos to help in developing the, especially with band or piano accompaniment duets are fun and especially helpful in concentrating on the individual parts while blending and making the lines musical. A set time to best fit in the busy schedules of our lives is helpful
and keeping track of our daily practicing, coupled with conversations
on best practices on how to get the best results from the invested practice time.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Young beginners should have the basiic size to control their instrument. This includes body size and height to successfully handle and balance their
instrument. The student needs to have the strength to hold and support the instrument properly so as to be able to
control the correct needed armbiture. Very important is the hand and arm development to have control the instrument and push and maneuver the keys, valves, or slides that will be in use
Maturity and the commitment for home practice to facilitate the development that will come with the proper home preparation
When will I start to see results?
Positive progress will be quick in arriving IF the student is dedicated
To his outside the lesson practice and preparation A good relationship is critical for instrument technical for the teacher and student as well as the parents
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I was raised in a musical household and family so the motivation and desire to
Play was strongly there. My uncle was a wonderful Saxophonist who played
and recorded with good big bands was an inspiration and helped develop the thirst to play a woodwind.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My graduate degrees and training and
my talented and successful students There are many who have gone on to be successful musicians and teachers.
My experience as a college instructor and director and the many non musicians that experienced the joy of music in their life's Probably the most rewarding has been my directorship of my contemporary big band at the university with many performance at various venues, recordings and work with schools and public school students and band directors sharing musical moments and memories
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Sight reading is a complex skill that can only be developed with much time reading various and different sight reading material. It is a skill that separates the good player from the the
Excellent player
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A wonderful approach for a well rounded and comprehensive lesson routine would have some long toned
with perhaps vibrato workout. A run through of scales or arpeggios is a must, with sporadic metronomic assistance. The lesson material with all rhythmic, time and key atuness is important and attention to articulation
and dynamics continues to build musicality and student awareness for
more musical and creative approach to
Future sight reading and a generally more complex approach to the student's musical IQ.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
