Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Drums Bass Guitar
Teaching has been my profession since before my college days, when I begun by teaching guitar lessons to classmates. Since college, it has been my primary occupation. I lead by example as a musician, and I encourage regular quality practice and cultivate an attitude of discipline and a drive to greatness. A cross-discipline in music is my primary approach to teaching, and I make a point of educating my students in how to communicate with other musicians. Read More

I have been teaching independently since 2004, with experience in classical, Celtic fiddle, bluegrass, rock and improvisation. In addition to private lessons, I have assisted with classes from elementary through high school level at various schools. I plan customized lessons and work with students individually to achieve goals. I like to form real relationships with my students and still stay in touch with students I have not taught for years! It is very rewarding to me to help students find their own voices in music, and I try to provide the tools they will need to be successful in whichever style/field of music they are drawn to.

I like to keep my teaching style a balance between being strict but also patient when needed and keeping it fun! I like to have open communication with the student or parents of the student to figure out what kind of teaching style they might prefer. If you want to be challenged and pushed, I can provide more strict instruction to make sure your goals are being met. If a student or their parents prefer to take it easy and just have a good time learning a new instrument, I will also be on board with that! Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
I am a very supportive teacher but at the same I am very adamant about the student reaching their potential. I really go out of my way to help a student to grow as a musician, so they can feel how rewarding it is. I believe the role of teacher is a very important one and we make a big impact on student's lives. I like to keep things fun and positive, with an element of always knowing what the goal is ahead.

Instruments: Violin Viola Fiddle Music
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I first heard Ralph Vaughan Williams "Lark Ascending" on the radio while driving home from High School. I had to pull over to wipe the tears from my eyes. Ever since, the piece has represented everything I love about music. I would feel honored to perform it and share its tenderness with an audience.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Not at all! I was motivated to learn violin after my older sister started lessons as a child, but beyond that none of my parents, grandparents, or extended family played music. I firmly believe music is not hereditary, but it can help motivate students to learn if someone close to them plays music. Long after my sister stopped playing violin, I continued on to become a professional.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I never wanted to learn the viola, but one semester in college, I was assigned to play the viola part in a Piano Quintet. I had to learn Alto Clef, and adjust to the bigger size of the instrument. But I am glad that I did because it helped me be a better violinist, and I loved the deeper, darker register of the viola!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I always start with my warm-up scale routine. I may vary it slightly, but I find starting with scales and exercises helps my body open up to playing and puts me in a good headspace. The consistency and familiarity are comforting for me and help me feel confident to practice harder things afterward. Then I move to my pieces: I like to start with something easier, but if I have less time I try to prioritize whatever is most important or will take the most time to learn.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Violin Performance. As a young man, I chose this degree because I couldn't imagine myself in any other field. Through studying music, I found myself. I wouldn't be the man I am today otherwise.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This can vary for each child, but here are some signs to look for:
1) If they ask to start lessons, they are ready.
2) If they can read and write, they are ready.
3) If they enjoy singing and dancing, they are ready.
Any child can learn a musical instrument!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Form a regular practice routine. This can mean many different things: some musicians find it helpful to practice at the same time of day, or practice things in the same order. It is important to always tune your instrument beforehand. And most of all, make sure you enjoy what you do! Even if it is challenging and often tedious, there is a joy in learning the craft of music. Find it in the repetitions, the metronome, the learning process.
