Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
After graduating college, I began adding vocal training to my studio. I have directed numerous choirs over the years and love choral, musical theatre, and jazz music. I encourage healthy consistent practice for piano and/or voice. I also relish the student's input when choosing literature. If a student does not like the music, I have found they will not practice. Students love performing at our End of the year Vocal Recital for their friends and family. Read More

I started playing acoustic folk styles in 1962 and added 60's rock and more as time went on. I joined my first rock band in 1965 and have now played all styles of rock, blues, folk, country, bluegrass, jazz, and contemporary Christian and worship music. I also play and teach bass and other stringed fretted instruments, keyboards, and drums and percussion. I began teaching private music lessons in 1968 and began teaching professionally in 1989 at AZ Bible College. Read More

For beginning students depending on the instrument of choice, I use: (In no particular order) Standard of Excellence for Band Instruments, consistent with school best practice methods Piano Adventures by Nancy and Randall Faber, for consistency and technique development as well as decent solo repertoire for recitals Hal Leonard's Complete Guitar Course or Alfred, both are good sources. Rainbow Ukulele for younger students in elementary school plus a combination of supplemental materials I've gathered over the years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
As a teacher, I have been fortunate to teach students ages 4-65 from all backgrounds and skill levels. I began teaching private voice and piano lessons at a music studio while I was in high school. That is where my love of teaching was born and I have made teaching a priority in my life ever since. I have also been fortunate to teach internationally. I spent time teaching English in Uganda, music in India, and have taught ESL in the United States. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I just recently moved to the Greater Phoenix Area. I have a very strong passion for singing and bringing music to others. I have three degrees in opera, but I have worked professionally singing everything from standard ballads to gospel songs. Performing all over the world has given me the opportunity to sing and learn things about other cultures that I would otherwise never have known about. My most recent accomplishment was singing the leading role of Hoffman in the french opera Les contes d'hoffman in Perieuguex France in the summer of 2012. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute
My teaching experience dates back to my Poland days, as I began teaching private lessons as a student of Music Academy of Wroclaw. When arrived to USA, I had my private studio in Chicago, where I lived for ten years. When I moved to Arizona, I continued to do what I love. I can teach students of any age.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcccxxxcxcxcxxxxccccccccxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin
I do my best to tailor my style to each students specific needs and goals. In general, I am a very laidback and patient teacher. My students recieve clear and achievable goals at the end of each of their lessons to work on while they are practicing during the week. This enables students to be able to really see their own progress as the practice. I also believe in music lessons being an enjoyable experience for students so I include students in making the decision for what pieces they would like to learn. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use a curriculum that my teacher gave me that he got through the Musicians Institute back in the 80s. I also use multiple programs by Charlie Fechter for basic sight reading and rhythm, specifically the book "Reading Music or Golf Clubs on Fences I have Known."
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm the most proud of being able to make a living off of music alone. My goal in college was to be able to support myself off live gigs, tours, recording, and teaching and still be able to live comfortably. And so far so good!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Many students have gone to make their high school jazz bands and won outstanding soloist awards in various jazz competitions such as the prestigious Reno Jazz Band Festival.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the bass is making appropriate decisions in a band ensemble. I think that just comes with years of experience of speaking the language of whatever genre you're in to "say" the right thing at the right time.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was 8, my dad put on a DVD of Earth, Wind, and Fire live in concert and I saw bassist Verdine White dancing around and playing bass. I instantly fell in love with the low end and simplicity but intentionality of the instrument. Since that moment I knew I wanted to play bass and be the backbone of the band.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing 15 minutes every day is way more effective than an hour every few days. Having a small but specific goal of what your'e trying to accomplish during that practice session is important to prevent getting distracted.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If he/she loves music then they're ready! The passion and interest to start playing is more than enough to kickstart any student on any instrument. If the child has a decent attention span and preferably can read and write, then they're ready.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone's progress and learning rate is different but with consistent work every day with and away from the lesson, noticeable progress will be evident in a few months.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My father is a drummer and the bass player in his band inspired me to pick up the bass. He went to Musicians Institute back in the 80s and showed me how to take the craft seriously so you can have fun with it and be free. He inspired me to be as versatile as possible because he could play any genre proficiently.
