I enjoy guiding students to their specific goals and helping them gain understanding of their instrument and also of their own innate musicality. I tailor all lessons to meet both of these areas and find that it not only helps students motivate but also learn to engage their instrument in a way that is both fun and rewarding for themselves. I encourage students to have an open mind especially in regards to genre and what can be gained by broadening our musical palette as they build their practice and fundamental skills. Read More

I then decided Boston was not the city for me and moved to Chicago in 2016 playing for a number of bands and teaching private lessons. Read More

All materials are presented in detailed, organized PowerPoint presentations, which serve as both teaching tools and reference materials for students. I understand that not all students aspire to become expert guitarists, and thats perfectly okay. I have students who prefer a more casual approach, focusing on learning songs rather than an in-depth curriculum. Whether you are dedicated to advancing your guitar skills and musicianship or simply wish to enjoy a leisurely hobby by learning a few songs, I will tailor your lessons and practice routine to suit your individual needs.
