My diverse musical upbringing included piano, guitar, bass, singing, and recording in any style I could think of.

My number one rule for teaching is patience and setting small goals each week. Every student should want to pick up the instrument days after the lesson.

Praise for when a student fulfills a goal goes a far way in future lessons. Read More
