Experience Summary
I started playing music when i was ten years old, and have continued my knowledge and talent ever since. I can currently play twelve instruments at at-least a basic level, four of those twelve at an experienced level, and two at a highly advanced level. In high school i made All-Region twice, and All-State once, placing Second Band, Third Chair, and ninth best in the state on tuba after just a year and a half of playing the instrument. I continued on to college at the University of Central Arkansas, where I was lucky to get to study with Christian Carichner as a tuba student. However, before the end of my first year i dropped out of college to begin my family, in hopes of returning to college for my music education in the near future.
Teaching Style
I believe that there is never a single way to teach students; even day to day learning may differ with a single student, and I feel it's the teachers job to do their best to cater to this fluctuation. With music, there are basic and advanced methods, and a lot of practice in between. I don't believe that just practice makes perfect, and neither does just talent. Perfect practice makes perfect. Teachers help students achieve and preform at their best.
