Although my lessons have a clear structure to them, I always make sure that the content of these lessons are interesting and exciting for each student. Read More

I went to graduate school and became a teacher of guitar classes at Chelsea High School, teaching about 1800 students over nine years. Along the way I took up arranging for an ensemble of young string and wind players at my church I had learned tenor saxophone, which I play in this ensemble - and learned jazz and fingerstyle guitar.

As a lover of multiple genres of music, I aim to improve technique, versatility, and musicianship with my teaching.
