With my educational background and passion for music it would be difficult to find another instructor with more depth.I have taught guitar for over 20 years to students ranging in ages from 6-60. I have performed with and coached multiple bands, ensembles, soloists, and private students and I have loved every minute of it.

Read notes on the treble and bass clef. Understand the notes of the piano keyboard and music staff and MORE! As much as I loves teaching and building relationships with music students in my studio, I do not believe lessons should be limited to the classroom.

My goal is to teach students the necessary rudiments of music and performing so he/she can go out into the world and shine as a polished musician. Read More

I am a calm, laid-back, yet intense teacher who expects the best from myself and my students. In almost every aspect of my life, I take an approach developed from my experiences with bodybuilding. As a competitive bodybuilder in college, I learned that progress requires desire, discipline, patience, self-evaluation, and the willingness to change directions and tweak one's regimen. I see weakness as simply the absence of strength, which is correctable. Read More

For adolescent beginner piano students I recommend 'John Thompson's Earliest Piano Course'. In this series Books I-III build a strong base upon which a student can specialize in different genre and styles graduating from book III. For adult students beginning I would suggest John Thompon's Adult (or Modern) Piano Course. The pacing of this book is far more accelerated and more in keeping with an adult pace to work with.

I continue to further my own studies with a marvelous teacher, Lauren Athey-Janka. I take much of her own teachings to incorporate it into my style.

Then, the singer's job is just to sing and trust! The teacher will adjust, rework, and advise! Read More
