For guitar and ukulele: Hal Leonard guitar and ukulele method.

Instruments: Voice
I believe that teaching voice does not involve a one-size-fits-all method. Every one is different, and therefore every voice is unique. It's important to treat each voice individually. A positive teaching environment is vital to encourage a student's progress. Lessons should also be fun. If the student is not having fun then something is not right. I also listen to the students and find out what repertoire and styles they would like to work on. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Shortly after my graduation and subsequent marriage, I began a teaching career that has included private piano lessons, small classroom groups, combined piano/voice lessons at a private music school, and being a homeschool educator to my own three children! I am a skilled accompanist, which requires remembering that your job is to uplift and support the group or individual performer as they sing or play. I have accompanied many church choirs, school choirs, vocal and instrumental recitals, and ensemble groups. Read More

Mindfulness and Vocal Health: Emphasizing vocal health practices such as proper warm-ups, cooldowns, hydration, and vocal rest is crucial. I integrate mindfulness techniques to reduce performance anxiety and enhance overall well-being. Custom Lesson Plans: I create personalized lesson plans that outline specific goals, practice routines, and milestones for each student. These plans evolve based on their progress and feedback. Piano Lessons: Fundamentals First: Establishing a strong foundation in piano technique, music theory, sight-reading, and ear training forms the basis of my piano instruction. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Bass Guitar Keyboard
My fellow students enjoyed having me in charge because I made sure that they did not feel inferior. I was honestly just helping them by sharing my knowledge of music. And we all saw vast improvement. Upon graduating I auditioned for the Dallas Opera, but however was not accepted due to my lack of experience. I have had experience however in helping out with some local plays, musicals, or performances. Read More

Over the course of my career, I have refined his teaching methods to become very effective at taking complex information and breaking it up into simple steps. This approach has allowed me to achieve a high record of success in learning and performing music. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I typically start with the overtone series for warming up. It's sort of a stretch for my jaw muscles before I get into strengthening them. Scales (full range of the horn) to establish technique and control over my fingers. It's important to keep your fingers close to your horn while you're playing even when not pressing down a certain key. The closer your touch, the faster you're able to play. I usually end with playing along to tracks to help with my time and then sight reading a transcribed solo to end.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My major is in Jazz Performance and Composition. I chose this specific major because I was inspired from a live show performed at my school when I was 15. It was a nine piece ensemble with five horns and four rhythm section players. They played some original tunes and some arrangements of some jazz songs that I really took a liking to. Their soloing blew my mind because I had never heard instrumentalist play so well together from memory. Their professionalism and sound quality really drove my interests to the next level.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I suppose my dream tune to play over effortlessly would be countdown by John Coltrane because it's upbeat and the changes are quite difficult to interpret. I poses a challenge because to get the speed up to par, you first have to master many techniques and be able to get around your instrument effortlessly without hesitation. The next step is to hear the harmony and be able to make shapes over the changes that make melodic sense. On top of all that, you're interacting with the other band members and trying to create a real connections that's enjoyable and exciting to the listener.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn't a musician, I'd like to think that I'd be in the arts in some other way. Perhaps a painter or cartoonist. I loved art class as a kid but never believed that I could do it for a living so it never sparked my interest as a career, only a hobby. I remember winning competitions for art class and receiving strong grades as well. But as a kid, I always had a dream of becoming an architect for houses. I also still have a desire to give back to the community in some way, maybe as a volunteer fireman.
