Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute
I like to start from the ground up, which means I start with Music Theory. Yes starting off with learning how to play the instrument is great but, if you don't know what you're doing while you're blowing then whats the point? Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
After receiving my jazz performance degree from Rutgers University in 2010, I put together a studio of several dedicated students in New Jersey while performing in the New York Metro area with ensembles ranging from big bands to funk and soul groups. During that time, I also helped create several music education programs and camps in Red Bank and Asbury Park, and was instructed players of all skill levels, helping them improve their skills.

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet
For my beginning students who are children, I typically start with Standard Of Excellence. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I also include ear training by having my students play note/ notes after me in a Call and Response maner. Read More
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 Clarinet
Clarinet: Any beginning band method book, Baermann, Klose, Voxman. At advanced levels I will use appropriate repertoire and advanced method books tailored to the student. Saxophone/flute: Any beginning band method book or standard beginning to intermediate woodwind book. Appropriate repertoire. Piano: I use most beginning methods, including Alfred, Bastien, Piano Adventures (Faber), and other standard piano methods. I use those appropriate to age, goals, and learning style (for instance, chord methods are sometimes better for adults). Read More

I also has a strong professional record of success. In addition to my formal education, I have both recorded and performed as an RB and Gospel artist. I currently work as the worship leader for a church, where I directs, play, and sing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
For the beginners, hold a correct gesture, good handposition, or firm embouchure, and air support are some of the main requirements. When the students start to learn, adding upmore etude books, like Rubank Method, Rose Etude, Kell, Thompson, Byer, Just the Fact, Sonata, Concertos, Etudes...., and music from different genre would be presented at different timings. During the lessons, fine hand positions, great tone quality, good embouchure, fine posture and position would be the fundamental requirements and will be reminded at all time. 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.
