For beginners, I usually start with teaching you basic technique on the instrument.

For advanced students, I try and give more in-depth material to be able to play the music that you love to play. Read More

My method of teaching involves a musically comprehensive approach. Through practice in rhythm, harmony, melody, theory and ear training, my players become well rounded musicians.

In my lessons reading sheet music is optional, but not required. I want my students to know that there is more to playing than just what's in the ink. Read More
