I currently teach music part-time at two Montessori elementary schools in the Southeast Valley which include after-school music classes and private lessons. I am the Worship Pastor at RPFChurch in Tempe, AZ where I play guitar and direct the worship team. I love to share my passion for music with every student and encourage them to enjoy playing their chosen instrument. I am also involved in reforming music education by writing methods and curriculum which make music fun, accessible and relevant to all ages. Read More

I structure my lessons so that each student knows exactly what to expect each week. We begin with Warmups, Scales, Technique, Sight-reading in piano and/or voice. Then we move onto the literature, checking posture for both Voice and Piano. We recap, at the end of each lesson, so that any questions may be answered. We set goals for rehearsals, memorization, study requirements. I record vocal exercises, or accompaniment tracks for the student so that they are able to practice more efficiently. Read More

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

All children are different and are progressing at their own pace.Most important for me is to see that they enjoy making music at any level. Another important thing for me is to remind my students to practice with a good posture and poise.This will ensure that they look as a performers and enables them to practice and perform for much longer periods of time. I teach my students to be creative during their lessons and home practice,this makes practicing fun and study of music enjoyable and rewarding. 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

I am a musician, composer, teacher and author. I graduated from the NYC "Fame School"- Fiorello H. LaGuardia HS of Music and Art. I studied music theory and composition at Mannes Conservatory, NYC and received a BA as a Music Major from Aaron Copland School of Music/Queens College/CUNY. I took Graduate courses studying Special Ed/Music Therapy at Lehman College, NY. After in depth research with creating highly motivational music programs for all ages as well as for children that had ADD, Autism, or Aspergers, I was awarded a grant from the Grammy's to write a book. I have traveled to Europe and the far east teaching creative music workshops. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started liking a lot of the riffs played by bands like Metallica since I was a little kid. I happened to realized the sounds I liked came from a guitar. That's when I decided I wanted to start playing guitar. It took me a while to learn a few songs and play some of those riffs I'm referring to. I didn't really struggle to learn, but it took me time. I happened to play bass for a while, and learned a few songs. However, I would not consider myself a great bass player and there's a lot of techniques I don't really know. That's why guitar is my primary instrument.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like teaching students the way I learned playing guitar. It is pretty basic, but straight forward. I don't like students to get bored on their first class introducing them to boring stuff. I usually start talking about the guitar itself. I like teaching students the notes of each open string. Then we'll usually jump to learning a basic song. As time goes by we cover main chords and power chords. Then after, we usually go over a few essential scales. I do not like teaching from books; however, if that's the student's preference then I have no problem using a book.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Practice sessions should always be fun. I try to make an atmosphere where the student can ask questions. I normally like to prepare a piece for the student to learn, then eventually we'll designate some time for the student to ask questions. I like to make sure students know everything they need to know to do their homework. Practice sessions usually end with the student going over the music piece practiced. I like giving feedback on their progress and motivating them to keep working hard. At the end of the day their progress is really what I'm looking to get from every practice session.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I'm into a lot of different music styles. I don't think I would be able to pick one as my favorite. I honestly like to play anything that sounds appealing to me. There's some awesome classical music that's great to play in guitar. Some other songs in different styles like Metal, Rock, instrumental, and other are also great to play. It's not really about the music genre but the feels I get from the songs. I love distortion, but I also love clean sounds. Combining both of them is something I usually incorporate in my playing.
