Instruments: Voice
The most common hindrance I find while teaching is the student himself. Before I address any other technique, I work on fixing the obvious. This method frees the student to learn without hold himself back. Even if the student has experience, I always start at the basics to gauge his understanding then work from there. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My students passion is the most important thing to me, I like to help them grow in skills but also their passion. I consistently ask for feedback and work together to make a fun learning environment. I believe each students have their own gifts and pace in learning, so I encourage and motivate them through acknowledge of their accomplishments in lessons and keep stretching out their hidden gifts through the right exercise or techniques.

Instruments: Voice Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet
In light of this, I will provide additional practice materials that are specific to the instrument each student plays or sings. For more advanced students, virtually all material will come from me, with the exception of students who request help with particularly difficult passages in their other repertoire. Regardless of experience, I believe all students should have a solid foundation of fundamental technique and music theory, and the materials I provide will aim to develope those skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Keyboard
N.J. We were part of a special collaboration between Rutgers University and the arts school. Outer specialized program was called, " Soweto" due to our team collaboration in Johannisburg, South Africa. I also worked there for numerous years as a substitute violin instructor for Doctor Younoski. I also worked in an Enrichment program at Bethal Christian Academy, in the afternoons after school, M-F. I taught a Youth In Arts program on the weekends at George Inness Junior High, which was sponsored by The Mount Claire Public School Systems. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Music has held a major position in my life since I was very young. I began composing music before I was in school. I began taking piano lessons when I was four years old. I studied voice and was trained by professional choir director Bill Graham for several years. I played trumpet in middle school and was first chair. I toured nationally with the NC boys choir. I picked up guitar at age fourteen and began teaching myself. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started liking a lot of the riffs played by bands like Metallica since I was a little kid. I happened to realized the sounds I liked came from a guitar. That's when I decided I wanted to start playing guitar. It took me a while to learn a few songs and play some of those riffs I'm referring to. I didn't really struggle to learn, but it took me time. I happened to play bass for a while, and learned a few songs. However, I would not consider myself a great bass player and there's a lot of techniques I don't really know. That's why guitar is my primary instrument.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like teaching students the way I learned playing guitar. It is pretty basic, but straight forward. I don't like students to get bored on their first class introducing them to boring stuff. I usually start talking about the guitar itself. I like teaching students the notes of each open string. Then we'll usually jump to learning a basic song. As time goes by we cover main chords and power chords. Then after, we usually go over a few essential scales. I do not like teaching from books; however, if that's the student's preference then I have no problem using a book.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Practice sessions should always be fun. I try to make an atmosphere where the student can ask questions. I normally like to prepare a piece for the student to learn, then eventually we'll designate some time for the student to ask questions. I like to make sure students know everything they need to know to do their homework. Practice sessions usually end with the student going over the music piece practiced. I like giving feedback on their progress and motivating them to keep working hard. At the end of the day their progress is really what I'm looking to get from every practice session.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I'm into a lot of different music styles. I don't think I would be able to pick one as my favorite. I honestly like to play anything that sounds appealing to me. There's some awesome classical music that's great to play in guitar. Some other songs in different styles like Metal, Rock, instrumental, and other are also great to play. It's not really about the music genre but the feels I get from the songs. I love distortion, but I also love clean sounds. Combining both of them is something I usually incorporate in my playing.

James
I've always loved singing, but I don't feel like I'm very good at it. I'd love to see if I can develop a stronger singing voice with some help and practice.
Cassie
Anyone that I know that offers voice lessons lives too far away. So I am hoping to find lessons closer. I can not sing, but would like to learn, or at least try:)
Sophia
I would like to find voice lessons for my 13 year old daughter. She has never taken actual voice lessons but has and is participating in her school choir.
