Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
For beginners, I typically start with Mayon Cole's EZ Keys for younger children (age 4.5 to 5), and I use manehune (age 6) or level one (age 7-10) or above for elementary school age children. Once the student has progressed and gain confidence in sight reading and rhythm/counting, I will then supplement the curriculum with solo repertoires from other piano curriculum such as Fabor/Fabor or Alfred series (Little Mozart). I also introduce chords playing for contemporary/praise music when the student is ready. Read More
Instruments: Voice Violin Viola Fiddle
I usually begin with the Suzuki method for both children and adults, and once the student has a good command of fundamental violin technique, we progress in the style of the student's primary interest. I am very open to teaching a variety of styles, and can put together a detailed lesson plan for any direction the student may choose. In the event that the student is primarily focused on areas other than the classical repertoire, I definitely begin with Mark O'Connor's violin method that is specifically designed for students interested in traditional folk and fiddle music.

Instruments: Piano Voice
At my studio, I emphasize the importance of committment, determination, and excellence because not only do those apply to music in regards to practice, performance, and continual growth, but also to life's princinples. My students are encouraged to perform at recitals, enter competitions, compose their own material, and listen to other music they are interested in playing, that way they stay motivated to learn. Last, I like to reward students for their accomplishments and their progress in their musical journey to success. Read More
Instruments: Voice
From the moment I was able to make out what music was and how it works together, I have been in love with the concept and drive that it takes to develop and incorporate music in every day life. Whether it may be through a movie score, show, church, orchestral or choral piece each movement has their own distinct character. I have been performing since the age of six at distinct churches, of which I have formed part of their worship ministry and a worship leader for more than 5 years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Keyboard Djembe
For beginning students (regardless of age instrument) I try to simplify the approach and work on a set of warm ups/exercises coupled with a performance piece or song that they can feel good about and lots of fun listening assignments. From there I have a few options of instruction methods that I tailor to the individual student. More intermediate/advanced students will not escape from some of the basics (metronome, scales, rudiments etc.) but will be met with many more choices of performance material based more on their individual goals.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
What's more fun then playing music and perfoming with friends or family! After I did a couple of gigs and thought, All this fun and we get paid too! I was hooked!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes my Father won a song writing contest put on by Eddy Arnold in the 50's. Eddy arnold recorded his song and my father performed the song on Eddy Arnolds sindicated Radio show.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Easy question......We had too many guitar players and we needed a bass player so i stepped up to the plate. Easy question......We had too many guitar players and we needed a bass player so i stepped up to the plate.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I Love "Weather Report"... anything from the Heavy Weather Album. I Love Miles Davis, just about anything from that album. Johnny Winter was my introduction to Blues...I like a lot of his tunes so it would be difficult to narrow down to one tune. I have a very broad pallet!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I've never given that any thought. I've never given that any thought. I've never given that any thought. I've never given that any thought. I've never given that any thought.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I took all the music classes and didnt finish the academics. I would not recommend this to anyone, but it is the path i chose. My Applied Major was Voice, but my interest was far more diverse... I had a real interest in Music teory and understanding all I could about that subject. I went so far as to go to another college and take all the music classes from that as well..... its better to get a degree!
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Any Beginner Method book will work... I tend to use Hal Leonard, because that is what is available. I use my teachers book Complete Jazz Guitar Method by Vincent Bredice, published by Mel Bay
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Chord Melody guitar playing. All elements of guitar are hard until you have accomplished all the essentials. Practicing all arppegios, chords scales in every postion on the guitar is verychallenging. Soloing is also difficult.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
This will depend on what the outcome is. Specifically i spend time working through tunes for a particular artist. I may or may not write charts depending on how complicated and how much time i have to devout to it.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have a student that was a professor at a University, One that Plays with a Famous Coutry artist, and another who has his on guitar method, website and a fantastic musician!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Playing in a Band that is a top ten Billboard Blues Charts Ensemble! Playing with some of the best drummers in the world right in South Florida.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
This is a hard question. I have several primary instruments... I enjoy the challege of Playing bass and singing, the challenge of soloing on guitar and love them equally.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had many teachers inspire me, not only just teachers but also musicians of many different instruments, vovalists, Guitarists, Bass players, sax players, drummers....
Vencent Bredice taught me how to learn as well as how to teach.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They must be ready to spend a minimum of 30 minutes a day practicing. if they can sit and take a 30 minute lesson then they can take lessons.
When will I start to see results?
Every student is different and learn at a different pace... I would say 6 weeks would be an average time frame to see results if they practice dilligently.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't spend too much time on one area. keep intense focus for 5-10 minutes and move onto another area.
example: 1. Practice the Melody for 10 minutes
2. Practice chords for 10 min
3. Practice arpeggios for 10 min...etc...
