Instruments: Guitar Voice
I worked in a pre-school for over three years before I decided to pursue music fully. I began by establishing my own band with our own unique musical style that incorporates influences from cultures through out the world! Working with my band, I would sometimes give them singing lessons with the information I had learned from my own (exceptional) Voice Teacher. It was by applying my teaching skills to teach the singing techniques/ abilities that I had acquired through my own lessons and self-study, that I discovered that I can teach voice lessons! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I use art songs that will guide singers through these areas of their voices, and will often allow the singer to bring in material of their own choosing within reason. At any age I put a large focus on how to practice outside of lessons. Lessons are for learning new vocal exercises and exploring new facets of the voice in a safe space. Outside of lessons are where substantial growth occurs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
My final goal is how to enjoy singing. In my opinion, the most important thing is that singing should be comfortable to both a singer and an audience. For this reason, I generally help them to sing comfortably. Most of the students have a common problem to sing. I would say it is artificial voice which makes their voice tired and injured. When I taught students some of them struggled with development about their voice quality. Read More
Instruments: Voice
For me, voice teaching is all about the individual. Unlike a violin, trumpet, piano, or other instrument of a fixed size and shape, voices come in all shapes and sizes. Each students physiology and psychology is different and responds better to different stimuli/approaches. In singing, our bodies are our instruments! Therefore, there is no one size fits all approach to teaching voice. It thrills me to get to know a student and work with them in a cooperative and encouraging way to achieve his or her goals.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I started teaching voice in college and have taught piano in high school. For each I have about a little over year of experience. I want my students to use their musical skills as much as possible to give them motivation to practice and satisfaction in their newfound abilities. I feel that each piece and performance is an opportunity to branch out and try new things. Teaching is, for me, an opportunity to create positive change in others. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba
For my advanced students (18+), depending on how advanced they are, I start them in the "First Book of _______ Solos" series. This series covers singing in English as well as several other languages and provides a good foundation for singing. Anything else I do with the student is on an individual basis. For younger brass students (10-14) I would teach out of the Standard of Excellence Books unless they are more advanced where I would start them in the Arbans Book, Robert Getchell Book, and/or Schlossberg Book.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I am very personal in the way I handle my lessons! You come to me and tell me what you are looking to learn or accomplish and I will put together a plan to make that happen. I work with a lot of artists on their original music as well, getting them ready for recording the music or performing live. I also teach from a holistic approach taking into account many different elements that affect vocal health / performance. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew I wanted to be a professional musician when I was at my first Battle of the Bands in high school. I saw those guys up on stage and said "yea, I want to do that."
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, my family definitely encouraged me to play around on all sorts of instruments while I was growing up. From trumpet, drums, and piano, to guitar and singing.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started to listen to Australian singer songwriters and really started to love the sound of the Didgeridoo, which is an instrument native to the aboriginal cultures in Australia. I started to learn how to play it and have been hooked ever since.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I really like bluesy funk. It is high energy, danceable, and feels good. I also really like folk/songwriting because of the stories and messages told through the songs.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I want to play at the Fillmore in San Francisco because so many bands that I love and adore have played there. It is such a historic spot!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Staying relaxed yet focused while playing. It can be challenging to not tense up while playing, and it can be challenging to not over think while playing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Forming a touring band that has shared the stage with many great bands and music artists! I am also proud of cutting two self produced EP albums.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My family inspired me to play on instruments as a young boy.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The moment I picked up a guitar I was hooked. I just really like the strings, wood, and mobility of the instrument. It is a very compatible instrument for composing music and songs
When will I start to see results?
Results can occur after one lesson. Consistent practice is important for maintaining and excelling skills.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I warm up and play first. Then I stretch my hands and fingers. Then I break open a practice routine that I have been working on and getting comfortable with for about a week. Next I practice something new to keep me pushing forward.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they have picked up an instrument and express consistent interest in it. Maybe they have been playing but are getting discouraged or uninspired due to a "plateau" in knowledge or ideas to practice and play.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Do it every day (or 5-6 days a week), in a place where you can focus, and do it for an achievable amount of time. Bite size practice sessions are key. Setting a timer is very helpful. Once you get comfortable with a certain amount of practice time, start to extend your time.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn't a musician I would be working with plants, as an organic farmer or in a greenhouse. And I would also make art in some other form like painting.
