Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Ukulele Recorder Euphonium French Horn Tuba
My teaching experience began when I was in college. I taught trombone and euphonium private lessons for several years in the school district that I attended when I was a student. Additionally, I also have done All State Masterclasses for the TMEA trombone etudes. Encouraging regular practice, building the life-long skill of discipline, and hard work are key skills that I enjoy getting to emphasize to my students, as it has a tendency to build student progression and ultimately gain a passion for learning the instrument.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Music Keyboard
I am a sixth semester student at Berklee College of Music, dual majoring in saxophone performance and jazz composition, and have studied with many inspiring professors as well as learned from many amazing educators. Since entering Berklee I have been able to not only study the material and concepts, but I have also gotten to study professors and how they educate students of all different backgrounds, all different levels of understanding, and how they navigate teaching a class with students who are all at different stages and levels of grasping material.

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium French Horn Tuba Oboe
For young beginners, I make use the method book that is being used at their school as well as supplying materials specifically for their instrument. As the student progresses, he/she will be introduced to solo repertoire as well advance method books for recital and competitive purposes. The objective is keep the student challenged but at the same time making sure the lessons are enjoyable. For intermediate and advanced students, I use the school curriculum at the school they happen to attend to meet the requirements of the music program. Read More

Instruments: Violin
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
To me, mastering an instrument is an impossibility in that there is always so much more to learn!! It is entirely endless! Once you get past one challenge that you have set for yourself, there are loads more which is allthe fun of it! New dimensions can and will unfold to you not only within the spontaneity of each given moment which only comes through the lucidity you bring to that given moment but also to the creation and ability to comprehend metaphors and the language and databases of those metaphors developed overtime! Things that I always work for and with are bow distribution, direction, intonation and INFINITE MUSICAL AND SPIRITUAL SUBTLEITES that unleash themselves within the very given moment of initiation.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I began studying under the tutelage of the Suzuki repertoire alongside a more traditional rugged approach to playing the violin. I also learned by playing Kreutzer etudes and exercises from the Carl Flesch books early on in my training. I find that these books worked moderately for my individual learning style. At age 9, I began to steep myself in the learning style of Paul Kantor my next consecutive teacher along the path which included self-created intonation practices and individualized intonation practices and technical practices taken generally from the pieces that I loved and we together chose to explore. This kind of applied learning worked successfully for me. Picture this metsphor for my learning style: it felt something equivalent to that of a moderate mathemtician that was not digesting the material in the most efficient way and was bored by the exercise of math in and of itself until applied to physics and then began to enjoy the math immensely and grew to learn it at a lower-entropied pace. Placing a focal point in such a relationship to something other than itself where it is necessary for that which it is in relationship to feed it and supplement I find is the necessary building block of building a balanced marriage between imagination and logic.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session is variant upon the day but includes a form of meditation (yoga, sitting practice, walking meditation) at the beginning of each session, and before I bow to the instrument, followed by a slow warm up of the technical most difficult passages within the piece that I am working towards. After this, I play something of Bach for an hour to begin and finish with segments of the pieces that I am working on slowly and incrementally with rhythmed patterns. There is also a time and place for running through a piece. This will be explained directly with the individual student at the approrpiate time.
