Instruments: Piano Violin
I began teaching because to me, nothing is more beautiful than watching someone's love for music bloom in front of me, to allow someone to find a vessel through music. Therefor, it's important to me that each student goes at their own pace, and strive to tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. It's important to me that in each lesson we cover 3 important sections, theory, performance, and technique. Read More

I use a number of resources to teach students concepts in musical performance. This includes online resources and method books that enhance fundamentals and technique. I do believe that understanding of music theory is necessary to advance beyond the intermediate level, and this system has assisted in training many students over the years. Novice students are encouraged through movement and activities to teach concepts while intermediate players are given exercises that focus on instrumental technique to strengthen musicality.

For beginning students, I always start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. I've found this book to be the best at introducing the instrument and reading the music. I may or may not continue teaching out of the books (there's 3), but that depends on the student. By book 2 or 3 I usually begin introducing Suzuki, as there are many solo pieces for them. Suzuki is also great for teaching technique, which is essential to their skill-set. Read More

I'm a Suzuki-trained violinist and singer, a graduate of the University of Houston, and have studied music for the majority of my life! I'm based in Houston and have performed in opera and with various musical theater companies in the Houston area. Even though I've focused on classical music for most of my career, I love branching out into different styles, particularly Celtic, Texan, Jewish, Romani, and even a bit of Zydeco. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Well, the ability to be a musician as a profession is even harder now than when I was a kid. I become a teaching assistant dealing with special education students. Through this, I have actually taught a child with autism to play the guitar. However, I play in historic homes during the holiday times. These tours have people guided through older homes and I accompany their visits with music. Our joys and goals change with age and maturity. However ,music and guitar will always be a part of life and I will never forget the dreams I had when I was young.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style of music today would have to be blues slide. This style of guitar and music traces itself back to the early early roots of America. If you look closely on You Tube, you may be able to find performances of the blues greats. These men and women could feel the music and it came out through their instruments and voices. Also, at this point in my musical life, I write and play my own music as well.
Through this all of the different styles of music I have learned seem to come out in one way or another. I am proud when other musicians like my music enough to play it themselves..
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Well, because of needs when being in a band, you learn to play what you do not have. Because of this fact, I have played drums and base occasionally as well as guitar. I cannot say that I am a drummer. I have never owned a drum set, but I have filled in many times. However, I started playing base because of the previous reason and became quite proficient. I found that I could improvise and really enjoy playing this instrument. I also found that it was a great deal easier to sing as the lead singer in a band while playing.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
My decision to become a professional musician was there right from the start. I listened and watched my favorite bands. What I wanted most in life was to be like them. However, air guitar was never enough for me and I am not someone who does not quit trying. So, after my first lessons, I made the decision that I was going to have a band and be a performer. This is not for everyone. Playing in front of people is vert difficult for some, but I am not shy and at the age of 15, I had formed my first band. We did not become huge rock stars, but I still love to play in front of people and it does not take much to get me out in front and do it.
