Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard
Helping a student become passionate about music is the most rewarding thing I can get from teaching. I set realistic goals that help the student progress at a rate geared towards the student's own pace. Positive feedback helps instill a desire to continue working and practicing regularly. This also pushes the student to wish to learn and work on more challenging materials. By learning where each student draws his/her own inspiration, I tailor our lessons to their goals while opening up their possibilities to go even further than what the student thought possible.

I'm here to help the student. We all were students at one point and I remember how I felt in the learning stages. I'm just trying to help the student understand their instrument and assist while bringing confidence to venture the possibilities they can have with that instrument. My teaching style is a fun and simple one. I always say that practice is the best teacher but as an instructor in here to help with the journey. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola
As well as 14 years of classroom music education teaching spanning grades K-12 in choir, general music, and orchestra...I have over 18 years of experience in teaching private music lessons in piano, viola, and voice. It has been a wonderful experience getting to know students from all walks of life with unique interests as well as unique goals. From learning how to simply count and name notes to learning the hardest viola concerto, I am there every step of the way for my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
I am happy to help my students with music they are working on in school or extra curricular activities if they would like. ... Low Brass: I use the Hal Leonard Essential Elements series along with external repertoire such as Arban's in low brass lessons. I will often have my students sing their music or buzz their music on their mouthpiece. Scales and other technical skills are big part of lessons with me. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Clarinet
Young students love playing the pop tunes, so I whole-heartedly accept them finding a book of broadway or pop tunes and brining it to lessons. For the older students, I always go to the Rose 32 Etudes for Clarinet, focusing primarily on the slower etudes to continue developing tone. Scales are also a must for all ages - I stress the importance of tone with these exercises because it's not just about the fingers. Read More

Also I am professional vocal performer, so my vocal techniques i take from my own experience. My knowledge prevails in Pop , Jazz, Soul , Funk and Folk music. To create it is my everyday and holiday. Music is my life and my essence. I love to inspire my students, and they inspire me in return, it also happens to my listeners. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba Music Keyboard
The first time I began teaching music was shortly after graduating high school, and asking local band directors to get some experience with their summer band, and marching band programs. While studying music in college, I received further training in classrooms outside of music to further develop my skills. It was during this period I that began to find joy from one-to-one learning. While I intend to provide most of the educational material, I also encourage my students to bring what they want to learn as well for a well-rounded experience. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice makes permanent. Be realistic with yourself about your level and quality of practice - if you are only going to practice a little, learn to practice very efficiently. If you practice a lot, make sure you aren't over doing it. I used to practice excessively (5+ hours a day) and wasn't improving at all. I know practice no more than 2-3 very efficient 20-40 minute sessions a day and play better than ever without getting tired. 15 minutes of good focused warm-ups are better than 3 hours of sloppy spot-practicing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Are they physically capable of playing the instrument? If so, then yes! Studies have shown that the earlier any kind of education enteres s child's life, the more effective and permanent their relationship with it will be. Exposing children to musical training early on gives them an exponentially higher chance of success later on.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone is different. Always be sure to check in with your lesson teacher - nobody can give you an answer ot this question without context.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I have an initial practice session of 15-30 minutes in which I only warm-up and focus on basics. LAter during the day I'll move from warm-ups into increasingly focused practice lasting about 15-20 minutes. I will repeat any focus practice I feel I need no more than 3 times during a day. I end my day with a 5-10 minute fun jam and warm-down exercise.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree, while focusing on performance, is actually in many aspects of music: I studied theory, musicology, composition, etc. from all over the world. Despite being a highly trained musician, I wanted to hone my ears and expand my musical perspective instead of just drilling music I was already familiar with. This has made me not only a more musical and informed player, but also a more enthusiastic musician - there's a mind-boggling diversity of amazing music out there!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Not sure if I have a favorite, but I really enjoy the flexibility funk, soul, jazz and electronic music allows.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have an uncle who plays 32 instruments without being abel to read music. Beisdes that, nope! I come from a totally unmusical family!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I came to music early inn life, but only decide on the professional musician track in late high school. I saw some paths to make a really positive difference in people's lives with music and just knew I had to jump in!
