Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
I am a compassionate, fun and dedicated educator who loves teaching all ages! As a child, living on the island of Jamaica, in the West Indies, I trained extensively with the Royal Schools of Music and The Trinity College of Music within the British system for four years. When moving back to the U.S. I started playing professionally for musical theatre productions at the age of 14. At 16, I began teaching piano lessons. Read More

To that end, though in the student's eyes it is not the most exciting part, we do learn those things. For students studying other instruments I frequently refer to the piano as it is the key to understanding music theory. Without that knowledge a student won't realize their potential, so we do indeed spend some time on it. All in all, my approach is akin to trying to learn about all that music can give us. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Trumpet Bass Guitar
For all students, I teach them exercises to strenghten their fundamentals and skills in the given instrument, and each lesson we practice the exercises to focus on improving their sound production, pitch finding, placement, and more. We also learn songs that both the student and I choose and prepare for performance (when necessary). Here are the books I work from for each instrument, but please note that I don't necessarily use these for every student, only when appropriate: GUITAR: Mel Bay's Modern Guitar Method (books 1 through 3) VOICE: Master Vocal Exercises by Horatio Connell, and Sightsinging (Hal Leonard) BASS GUITAR: Bass Method, (Hal Leonard, books 1 through 3) TRUMPET: Essential Elements 2000, (Hal Leonard, books 1 through 3) Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Harmonica Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Recorder Conga Latin Percussion
I write all my own lesson materials focusing on what the student needs to know to play, understand, and enjoy music to achieve their goals. I have used several method books in the past but find them all limited or focused on styles or technique that is not what the student wants or needs to learn. I can teach from any established method if that is preferred, but instead enjoy challenging the student to understand what music is and how music is played on their chosen instrument, not just to read.

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: 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: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I honestly have no idea what I would be doing. I don't remember being enthralled with anything other than music. And I think that if you're going to pursue music as a career in any aspect you need to ask yourself a very important question: Will I be able to live with myself if I DON'T pursue music. It can be extremely challenging to do. You may be living off ramen for a while, but if you're dedicated it is possible to make a living in music. You have to know that music is the only thing that you can do.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love playing classical music. I enjoy the challenge that comes with developing the technical skills to beautifully execute a piece of music. I love the type of emotion that is evoked from it. It can theatrical, energetic, crushing, and tragic. That isn't to say that it is better than any other type of music, but that it's different. I honestly think that broadening what I study has given me a another perspective on other styles, genres, and eras of music and a better understanding of them as well.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I've only studied guitar. I do have a strong affinity for electric bass guitar. The style of playing and the approach is drastically different than how one would tackle guitar, but it is extremely fun to play. I have played bass in bands before and it has been extremely enjoyable. I have dabbled a little bit on drum set and I've really loved that. Developing extremity independence is extremely challenging but it helps you understand rhythm in a VERY different way than how you would understand it on guitar.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have had musical family members. My great grandmother apparently could play piano extremely well. She had the ability to hear a piece one time and play it perfectly. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet her. My father used to play drum set, but by the time I was born he had given up music to support my mother, my siblings, and myself. So, I never really had anyone in my life that was a musician. My drive to pursue music was purely of my own, but thankfully my parents were very supportive of my interests.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a defining moment for me. I had been studying electrical engineering and attempting to get into the computer graphics school at Purdue. I was also performing with some friends I had made and we started running a music venue and doing some recording. It had hit me that THIS is what I wanted to do with my life. So, I started studying theory, working on my technique, and otherwise getting prepared for my entrance exams and audition at BSU. What was tough was leaving all my friends at Purdue behind to go into something in which i was totally alone, but it was worth it because it was precisely what I wanted to pursue.
