I love seeing my students grow in their knowledge and appreciation of music! Excellence is rewarding, and I teach the process to get there from whatever level we begin. I use positive reinforcement and notice what the student is doing right. Then, I give critique and an action plan to improve performance. It feels good for the student and teacher when they learn the methods to break down what is currently difficult into smaller pieces so that it is both manageable and possible to go further than they thought.

I always say that rhythm is more important than the notes. Play the right rhythm and the notes will come instead of playing every right note while sacrificing rhythm. I encourage students to make their mistakes loud, proud, and in rhythm so everyone has a better idea of what needs to be worked on most. I also emphasize isolating parts to practice and working backwards. Example: play the last two bars of the song until comfortable with it, now play the last 4 bars, last 6, last 8...etc., whole song.

While teaching, I learned there were three components of practicing and that included technical, literature, and having fun. The technical portion of practicing is learning the fingerings, scales, arpeggios, modes, keys, and rhythm which are similar to eating vitamins. The literature portion is the piece or pieces of musical literature that a student has to learn for their ensemble or solo performance which is similar to eating an entree. And lastly and most importantly, is having fun. Read More

Again, as a teacher my goal is to be honest and responsible to everyone's improvement in music. Nothing makes me happier than to see people I teach reach greater heights and even achieving skills that surpasses mine. As a person, I will support you through your obstacles at my best and try to answer all your questions with clearity and honesty. However, it is essential to note that regardless of how much I can teach you and point out your weaknesses, it is up to YOU to decide how far you will go. Read More

I am a lifelong musician who also had a lengthy career as a music journalist specializing in jazz, writing for such publications as The Los Angeles Times, The Newark (New Jersey) Star-Ledger, and Down Beat Magazine. In my contacts with musicians for articles during this period, I tried to use each encounter as a partial lesson, and so accumulated some very important advice which I pass along to students. During the years I wrote (1980-2010), I never stopped practicing and I often performed with my own groups, both in Los Angeles and in the East, including performances in New York City. Read More

I am motivated to teach students all aspects of music. Each lesson focuses on scales and exercises, performance pieces, and musical creation. I graduated from St. Mary's college in 2006 with a BA of performing arts. I am currently playing with the Walnut Creek Concert Band and The Community Womens Orchestra. I have had the opportunity to play with Awesome Orchestra, Dirty Cello, a Prince cover band and many other jazz and classical groups. Read More
