Specialties

I tend to prefer super learning methods wherein a student is given a brief crash course, given immediate opportunity to apply what was taught and then praised heavily for their effort. Then the material is studied in depth. I like to teach after the student and I have had just a little bit of fun together.

Lesson Details

My students can expect me to meet them where they are. We'll rise to the next level together. My teaching style is always customized to the student after a proper introduction. I do encourage excellence and do not accept excuses. Learning should be fun, and as long as my students practice what is given, it shall be. I intend to be prepared to instruct to the best of my ability and only require that my students be prepared and ready to be challenged in a fun way.

Sometimes learning ... fundamentals can seem slow. I aks all students to trust that once the foundation is laid, we can really take off at an exciting pace.

About

When it comes to music, for me, self expression is most important. Music communicates more than words alone.

I've studied with the great musical families of New Orleans, where I was born and raised. I've also had the good fortune of crossing paths with many other greats outside of the city; Jordan family, Marsalis family, Batiste Family, Chatters family, Clyde Kerr Jr., Donald Byrd, Frank Mantooth, Bob Shepard, Curtis Fuller, Steven Dankner, Lorraine Alfaro, Moses Hogan, Raymond Miles, ... Veronica Dorsey, and many others.

As a child I began the study of piano at the age of 3. I studied classical traditionally and blues by ear. I began a formal study of Jazz in the 5th grade. At age 12, I began to perform professionally and still do presently. By age 15, I was directing at various churches and ensembles to accompany musical theater productions.

To date I've toured the east and west coast of the U.S., 18 cities between Spain, Germany and Russia. I am a performer/song writer/recording artist/director/instructor. I love each aspect but must say I am quite fond of teaching. The greatest reward is sharing the magic that music has been in my life.
