I started teaching music about 10 years ago, and Ive always enjoyed working with students. Ive performed professionally in several bands on multiple instruments in the past 10 years, and Ive also done a good bit of studio work from composition and recording, to producing, to mastering. I emphasize practice, having fun, and learning useful skills as the keys to success in music lessons. I do believe a good combination of modern music, classical music, and music theory is the best way to become a well-rounded musician and maximize enjoyment! Read More

I want my students to be successful. I will give them to tools to need to learn to language of music. I will direct them to the materials to help them with that goal.

To see that same sense of acomplishment in others makes me happy because I know the lessons and skills learned are life long and invaluable. Read More
