As a teacher, I have learned the last 4 years that you can't expect a student to just know something right away. It takes time, and students have to take it at their own pace. Sometimes, you have to differentiate instruction often, until the student starts to understand something. So, I find it is important to be student-centered and focus on the goals they can achieve, little at a time. I also find it important to create positive feedback and turn constructive feedback into a more positive direction, so it does not seem as tough. Read More

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

My Teaching experience goes back to my College experience at UofA (Arizona). I gave lessons to Elementry, High School and College students in Jazz, Blues, Brass Bands and Salsa music. I help with technique, passion for playing, fundamentals, music history, sight reading, sounds etc. I give them a higher appreciate for music, and Trombone while increase their personal growth and confidence.

I seek to help a student to find their own inspiration in whatever genres and fields they find appropriate. I help students develop their own inner passion by bringing them to community events to provide musical examples outside of the curriculum that is necessary to improve skill level on all instruments. I seek to help students find what they are hearing and to give them the theory tools (scales, technical ability, chords, form, reading, etc...) to write it down or play it back. Read More

There is nothing more enjoyable in this world than sharing what you love. I have been teaching lessons for 8 years and have seen how infectious the joy of music can be. I graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in Contemporary music: American Vernacular Studies in 2013. I have studied and performed in every American place (North and South) that you can imagine, played on cruise ships, and played in several different countries. Read More
