Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Synthesizer
I don't tend to rely on any one method. I have quite a bit of material that I have personally developed over the years. I try to take each student as an individual with their own unique personality, likes and dislikes, and motivations. So I enjoy customizing a lesson plan that is as individual as each student. I do use some published materials that I have found to work well with beginning students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
While attaining my degree I had practicums on the elementary, middle school and did my student teaching at Cedar Ridge high school. I have a year of teaching Chorus in the Guilford public school system. I also have musical theater experience. I have also been singing in church my whole life and have held an interim minister of music position at East Belmont Church of God. I have started my piano and voice studio and hold Lesson out of my father's church. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I love seeing students progress and grow a passion for music. I think that it is extremely important that a student have a working trust with their music teacher. Opening up and allowing oneself to be real and show another person your raw self is difficult for both adults and children alike. I try to develop a working relationship with all of my students so that when they walk through the door for their lesson, they know that they are safe to make mistakes without judgement. Read More
Instruments: Piano
At the first lesson is just seeing where they are and what kind of music they would want to play(hymnal songs, gospel songs, soundtracks, opera, classical etc). Then at the beginning of each lesson would be theory(note recognition, counting, fingering etc). Then review on what they practiced for the week and if they are confident with the pieces add a few more songs. At Christmas time and the end of spring I like to have to have a recital for the students to play a few of the songs they learned for their friends and family. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba
My goal is to help you or your child improve as a brass player and as an overall musician. I have extensive training in music theory and history to help foster a greater understanding and appreciation of music. I can help players from beginner to advanced gain a greater understanding of their instruments along with the fundamentals and technique to improve both technically and musically. Lessons are tailored to the needs, desires and goals of an individual student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. My philosophy is to practice, practice, practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
Its gives me great joy to see my students practicing asking questions and progressing as well. If a student is not progressing i would give him great advice and praise to get him motivated to practice and watch him improve as well. I will also find out what kind of music my student is most interesting in and we will mostly stay focused on what he or she would like. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A quiet room free of distractions. Ample lighting room heating and cooling control .
Repeat phasing technique is important, and needs to be adhered to diligently and with lack of diverse feeling
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
About in the years when I was 20 years old i remember really been into the pro side of things
Relating to music. I have always entertained and have been liked the spot lights
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes music runs into my family. I did have uncles who were accomplished musicians.
That story is a long one and too long for here
However, there is a distinct and additional accomplishments throughout my family over the years, and I am very proud of that
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I really can’t answer that successfully because that’s not where my thoughts are. Maybe in the future I this question. Maybe running a music store would be a nice idea.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Country ballads were always for me a great way to enjoy the music world
People do like taking a country music and that is always been one of my favorites so as to date, I will leave it at that.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I was always out in the entertaianment field. So as there was a need for that sound, I simply dove into it
Again, I needed the additional sound that a second and a third instrument adds to the music I am creating
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Chopin concerto or any of the classical greats would be the dream piece I would care to accomplsh
Many classical pieces I do like to perform so there is a wide variety I can I can use as a piece to perform.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Education. Music Ed is where my degree ls in. It is where I chose to be for student achievement
I do like to teach, and I do like to teach music and also I’m various levels and many various instruments. Thank you.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Alfred is a great teaching method book
Also, how Leonard has wonderful composition books that many students find rewarding, and these are a few of the method books utilize
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
To have an audience appreciate what they are hearing
To be able to entertain an audience successfully is always what the advance musician strive for
Having the audience appreciate what you’re trying to accomplish is the name of the game.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Guitar was the main thing at the time everyone wanted to be and have the ability to show their stuff
Utilizing various guitar songs, I became interested in performing these same songs in my own style.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
To be able to play a song was the goal back then
In these years, I can play many instruments I can entertain on various instruments. I can play change keys,
Create and write songs, using various keys, and having the ability to understand music has always been a great accomplishment
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
None that a can lend onto at this time
Maybe in the future we’ll see as time goes by
Who can say what the future brings.
Music is a wonderful art, and to be a member and student is a great accomplishment
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
A teacher who inspired me to go into music ? That was a long time ago
Many teachers along the way I have recognized this as former helpers and assistance.
When will I start to see results?
Almost immediate !
Day by day the more a student practices the better he gets
Also when he gets recognition from his parents or fellow family members.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Maintain a proper attitude towards succeeding in your goals.
Dont give up midstream. Keep at it because you like the feeling of achievement.
Remember the feeling of success when you first perform for a listener
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When a child is ready to start lessons he will tell you.
To force lessons on a child will not accomplish your goal.
Give this selection a good amount of time.
And be patient looking for the proper choices
