Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola
As a strong advocate of new music, I have actively participated in numerous student composer concerts that have presented new and viable works from USF's esteemed composition program. I have also participated in the Apple Hill Chamber Music Festival (2012 and 2013) and the annual Tennessee Cello Workshop (2009). I was the principal cellist of the 2009 National Philharmonic Summer String Institute under the direction of maestro Piotr Gajewski and I was recently the Assistant Principal of the University of South Florida Symphony Orchestra.

My main goal in teaching music is to build a good foundation. Not all music students will go on to major in music, and that's OK. Music offers invaluable experiences for everybody involved, and I have seen music change lives. There is a lot of evidence that music helps in school performance and test taking, and there is evidence that music helps to build organizational and critical thinking skills. I like to build a positive relationship with my students, and I encourage progress in order to make students eager to learn more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I find that the key to enjoyable lessons is to discover just the right sort of pieces a student likes to play. No one likes having to practice something they think is boring. It is with this in mind that I also incorporate games and flash cards and activities involving action for the little ones who can't sit long on a piano bench. I make sure we use ALL the keys of a piano from one end to the other, and the black ones too. Read More

I believe each student is different. Therefor, lessons should differ depending on each students particular needs, taste in music, and age. I would never treat an adult student like I would a young student and vice versa. I always try to set weekly goals with each of my students in order for them to have something to work towards on a consistent basis. If my students don't reach their weekly goal I simply have a little bit of a review with them in the beginning of the lesson and then proceed with that weeks work. Read More

First lesson I start by assessing what level the student is at and what goals they have with their music and develop a lesson plan from there. I focus first on fundamentals of sound and technique to build a foundation for the student then work on scales and repertoire to get them playing music. From there it is a focus on musicality and performance. A lesson plan for example may be working on solo repertoire by breaking down the piece by focusing on different elements that make the song; the scale, they rhythm, certain patterns by measure, techniques required, etc. Read More

Guitar / Bass: New guitar or bass students will start with Essential Elements Book 1. All new students will focus on learning the fretboard and learning how to play common chords and tabs. Advanced students can learn how to play their favorite songs, more advanced chords, and extended techniques such as harmonics, palm mutes, and effects. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but here are a few questions and if you answer yes to any of them then your child is ready:
Can they follow simple instructions and maintain focus for short periods (at least 10-15 minutes)?
Are they able to handle some frustration when learning something new?
Do they show a genuine interest in drums and music?
Do they enjoy drumming on pots and pans or other objects around the house?
When will I start to see results?
Within an hour of dedicated practice using my lesson materials, students will experience noticeable improvement and growth in several key areas:
1. Enhanced Stick Control and Coordination:
Muscle Memory: Repeated practice of rudiments and exercises will lead to improved muscle memory, resulting in smoother and more fluid stick control.
Limb Independence: Focused exercises will enhance coordination between hands and feet, allowing for more complex and dynamic drumming patterns.
Precision and Accuracy: Students will demonstrate greater accuracy in striking the drums and cymbals, with improved stick rebound and control.
2. Improved Timing and Rhythm:
Internal Clock: Practicing with a metronome will strengthen their internal sense of timing, leading to more precise and consistent rhythm.
Groove Development: Through repeated practice of rhythmic patterns, students will develop a stronger sense of groove and feel.
Tempo Control: They will be able to maintain a steady tempo and execute rhythmic changes with greater accuracy.
3. Increased Confidence and Musicality:
Self-Assurance: Successfully mastering new techniques and exercises will boost their confidence and motivation.
Expressiveness: As they become more comfortable with the material, students will begin to inject their own personality and style into their playing.
Musical Understanding: By practicing and internalizing different rhythmic patterns and styles, they will gain a deeper understanding of musical structure and phrasing.
4. Tangible Progress and Skill Development:
New Techniques: Students will be able to apply newly learned techniques and concepts to their drumming.
Repertoire Expansion: They will expand their repertoire of beats, fills, and grooves.
Performance Readiness: With consistent practice, they will be better prepared to perform and share their drumming with others.
Overall, an hour of focused practice with my lessons will result in:
A noticeable improvement in technical proficiency.
A stronger sense of rhythm and timing.
Increased confidence and musicality.
A deeper connection to the instrument and the joy of drumming.
This tangible progress will not only be evident to the students themselves but also audible to anyone listening, as their drumming becomes more precise, expressive, and dynamic.
