As a music educator, I vow to share my passion for music with others. I want others to see what I see: Music is Bliss. I plan to use music as a means of providing a creative outlet, instilling virtues, and to ultimately create commonality and unity through this beautiful universal language they call music. Because music gave me a second shot at life, I feel inclined to live my life as a music missionary, if you will, and am deeply devoted to ensuring personal growth, artistic gratification, and musical excellence in all of my students.

My methods vary on the student and subject. Beginning students will typically focus more on technical pieces of music to improve on certain aspects of a few pieces to perform. More advanced students will still practice technical parts of their music, but less time will be spent on it during a lesson. Advanced level students will spend more time on repertoire and performance. The more advanced a student gets, the more I expect them to practice outside of lessons and apply their newly learned technical skills into their music on their own. Read More

When it comes to beginning band students, I will typically use the Standards of Excellence book. But, depending on the students and their abilities, I will try Essential Elements, as well. For piano students, I will use Bastien Piano Basics, Fabor Piano Adventures or Alfred's Basic Piano, depending on the age group. After the students start to understand the foundation and fundamentals of their instrument, then I will find a piece of music for them to learn as a soloist. Read More
