My Teaching Approach
The curiosity of a beginner should be preserved and encouraged
Practice makes permanent
A student should want to play their instrument
It is up to the student what goals we set
Goals should be challenging yet attainable
The affect Music has is felt, and learning Music should be the same
Piano
The versatility that comes with knowing the piano is unmatched.
From a grand piano to an 80's synthesizer, the sounds that a keyboard instrument can produce are endless!
Even though I have over 20 years of experience playing the piano, I approach the instrument with a fresh outlook every day.



Percussion
The most honest form of expression is the unabashed beginner with a pair of drumsticks.
There are hundreds of instruments that fall into this category, from ones you hit with sticks, mallets, or your hands. I can teach you to play all of them!
If you're goal is to master one instrument in this category, don't sweat,
I have extensive courses dedicated to specific instruments as well
From the student who can't tap their foot to the beat, to the touring drummer, my lessons can help you refine your abilities



Digital Production
Technology makes it possible to create music that has never been heard before
But when an aspiring musician sits down behind a computer, it can be
overwhelming
That's where I come in
​


Policy
I ask that you respect my time, and I will respect yours
It is expected that we will both be ready, with all supplies at hand, to start our appointment on time
In the case of an emergency, please try to contact me at least 24 hours before your scheduled lesson time to reschedule
It is very important for growth that we are consistent
It is highly recommended that you have the necessary equipment.
Each lesson plan is different, so please contact me with questions while searching for an instrument.

Virtual
You can schedule, pay, and video call all from this site with Virtual lessons
It is not a necessity to have digital copies of sheet music, but it may help during a virtual lesson
Amazon and Google have selections of digital music, or you can follow the links below for specific needs
There should be a camera that has vision of the instrument and students hands while taking a virtual lesson

Group Ensembles
Music is often a cooperative experience
as such, we seek to create with other musicians often
Having a studio which includes rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic instruments means that collaboration is very easy to achieve
