• When did your passion for music begin?

  I have been involved in music since early childhood, starting with school and church choirs, then learning guitar in college, and then becoming a teacher.

• Do agree that some instruments are harder to master and, if so, which ones?

  Most certainly! Violin, with its dependence on PERFECT finger positioning and an intimate connection between ear and fingers, makes this instrument among the most difficult to master. Having a perfect sense of pitch is absolutely critical! French horn follows as a close second.

• In your opinion, what does it take to be a successful musician?

  Of course, a LOVE of music is essential, but a commitment to constantly advance in skills, even when progress may not be instant, must follow that passion.

• It is 2 am in your local bar; which famous musician would you most like to have a conversation with?

  Earl Klugh, Kemmy Ramkin or Eric Clapton would be a good start!

• What is your most inspiring experience as a musician?

  Seeing the tangible effect that my performance and teaching has on the lives of people.

• In your own opinion, what does it take to be a Superprof?

  Teaching takes the commitment to see EACH student as an individual, with specific and unique needs, unique potential and unique personality.

• Describe your best Superprof lesson and explain why it was so great.

  Whether it be through SuperProf or any other teaching experience, the best lessons are those where it is clear that the student not only "does" the task assigned, but understands the subtleties and purpose of the exercise. Our task as teachers is to awaken in the student THEIR OWN passion for the subject, and when that happens, it is the most satisfying WIN/WIN ever!

• Finally, if you had to choose a piece of music or album to play on loop for a day, what would it be?

  Earl Klugh or Natalie Cole, but let's not forget Bach and Schubert.
