I have seen my students achieve success at all levels, from being a beginner to winning a college scholarship to the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music! I have taught pre-K through adult instrumental and vocal music. I have taught Jr. High and High School Band. I presently am teaching in Gibson County as a part time public school music teacher since I retired from full time service over 2 years ago. (I just couldn't stay away from it!) Since I started there, I have also been hired by the high school band to be one of their brass instructors. Read More

Every student no matter the age must have a solid foundation of fundamentals. If the technical foundation doesn’t exist, then it is much harder to play music that we love. Development doesn’t happen overnight, but rather it is a lifelong process. With every student, no matter the age, I use the Arban Complete Method, Clarke Technical Studies, Cichowicz Long Tone Studies, Stamp warm ups, and other books as needed. Read More

I approach teaching according to each students learning style. I want to be able to reach all of my students by understanding how they learn and how it help them to improve on each lesson. Setting goals help students reach their purpose and dreams. I believe private lesson is a good option for various students because it gives the students to learn at his or her own pace. As I teach, I want to enhance their creativity, innovation and originality in learning and playing their instruments. Read More

For beginning folk/pop guitar students I use the Hal Leonard Guitar Method. For Classical guitar I use a combination of various resources, including Segovia scales, Sor studies, Guilianni right-hand studies and Frederick Noad method books. I definitely encourage students to work towards performance of the music they are working on, and try to schedule recital/performance opportunities as students deveope and gain mastery over their material. I always try to maintain a healthy balance between keeping the student working on music that challenges them,and advances their technique, with the need to have fun and enjoy the playing of a musical instrument as a means of entertainment and relaxation.
