I am an Artist who loves to see his students succeed. I have a strong passion for music, and utilize that passion and the skills I've developed throughout my career to cultivate students into fellow Artists. My primary goal as a teacher is to tap into the potential artistry of the students. For that reason, I am not as focused on the technical skills, as I am about spotlighting the inspiration that will facilitate the student to embody the Artist with original expression and purpose in their art form.

Instruments: Voice
Each lesson is individualized. No lesson is ever just door to door singing. Sometimes we have to talk about the repertoire, talk about the text and grow from each. That does not always mean that you are singing for every minute of the lesson. The student I am there as a guide and allow the students creativity to take us on the journey. I believe...I live.. with an ideology of a truly holistic approach to teaching and singing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I had my first paying gig at 7 years old and have never looked back! Always striving to keep my repertoire relevant, I developed a great ear that allows me to learn many songs quickly. I always emphasize that in my teaching so that a student is not only playing, but actively listening too. My teaching method is very open and is tailored for each individual student. With some I do any combination of technique, theory, composition, and improvisation. Read More

Instruments: Bass Guitar
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use a curriculum that my teacher gave me that he got through the Musicians Institute back in the 80s. I also use multiple programs by Charlie Fechter for basic sight reading and rhythm, specifically the book "Reading Music or Golf Clubs on Fences I have Known."
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm the most proud of being able to make a living off of music alone. My goal in college was to be able to support myself off live gigs, tours, recording, and teaching and still be able to live comfortably. And so far so good!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Many students have gone to make their high school jazz bands and won outstanding soloist awards in various jazz competitions such as the prestigious Reno Jazz Band Festival.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the bass is making appropriate decisions in a band ensemble. I think that just comes with years of experience of speaking the language of whatever genre you're in to "say" the right thing at the right time.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was 8, my dad put on a DVD of Earth, Wind, and Fire live in concert and I saw bassist Verdine White dancing around and playing bass. I instantly fell in love with the low end and simplicity but intentionality of the instrument. Since that moment I knew I wanted to play bass and be the backbone of the band.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing 15 minutes every day is way more effective than an hour every few days. Having a small but specific goal of what your'e trying to accomplish during that practice session is important to prevent getting distracted.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If he/she loves music then they're ready! The passion and interest to start playing is more than enough to kickstart any student on any instrument. If the child has a decent attention span and preferably can read and write, then they're ready.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone's progress and learning rate is different but with consistent work every day with and away from the lesson, noticeable progress will be evident in a few months.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My father is a drummer and the bass player in his band inspired me to pick up the bass. He went to Musicians Institute back in the 80s and showed me how to take the craft seriously so you can have fun with it and be free. He inspired me to be as versatile as possible because he could play any genre proficiently.
