My teaching experience goes back to my high school days, where I began to teach private lessons part time ten years ago.

I also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoying playing instruments. Read More

During the first lesson, I typically try to find out the level of the student. Once the student's level is known (beginners-advance, children-adults), not just playing and or singing ability, but their knowledge of theory, the names of the lines and spaces, the value of notes and rests, the names of the major clefs (treble and bass), etc., then we will better know what method books to engage a student in.

I began assisting teachers during high school for extra credit. It later became my job during Full Sail. I worked extensively with grades K-5 on reading, writing and math skills enrichment. When I graduated I started to see my joy was working with children and helping each individual get to their own "next level" and that is when I began teaching music privately. I encourage my students to enter competitions and recitals of which I help with the prep for and can conduct them there if need be.  Read More

I love people and I love music. My gift is teaching, and I think about it all the time. It gives me great joy to share what I have with you.

I teach a complete understanding of the guitar fretboard. I incorporate music theory and an understanding of chord structure in all lessons, and for all instruments that I play and teach. Read More

A book that I use for lip slurs is the Irons book, this book contains extensive exercises for lip flexibility. I also use a lot of exercises that I either learned from other trumpet players, or ones that I made up on my own to target specific things. As far as what I use for teaching jazz, all of what I teach, I either learned through listening to jazz records, or learned from other seasoned jazz musicians. Read More
