My teaching experience dates back to 2013, where I first began tutoring local junior high students for the summer band program. I have been teaching private lessons and studying how to be a better educator ever since. My private home studio has been running for over 3 years now. In private lessons I incorporate a complex combination of music theory, ear training, popular music, and classical! At the end of every lesson I take detailed notes on the students progress, and always check in to make sure we are playing something they want to learn! Read More
Instruments: Voice
I want my students to learn how to use their voices healthily so they can use it for the rest of their lives. Your body is your instrument, so it's important to take care of it. I believe that a classical foundation is the healthiest foundation from which a voice is built. Once that foundation is laid, however, students can adapt that to any style, be it classical, gospel, jazz, pop, musical theatre, etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Trumpet, Trombone, Drums, Bass Guitar, Organ, Synthesizer, Double Bass, Euphonium, Tuba, Orchestral Percussion, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar
For each instrument, I have the same basic approach: discover what they like, assess what they can do, and begin with the fundamentals. If a student is more advanced, I still like to spend time on fundamentals at the beginning anyway to see if we can fill in any foundational weakness that the student may have. For each instrument, I also have a wide array of repitoire that I give students that zero-in on technical challenges a student will be presented with. 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
