It is a wonderful thing to see students having a passion for music. Each student will develop the way that they want to.

I have always loved music and when I was still in elementary school I was given a pair of conga drums after being inspired during a family vacation. Over ten years later I am listening and playing more styles of music on more instruments than I ever thought imaginable when I began.

I am a very patient and motivated instructor. I really enjoy working with students from beginners to advanced sharing my love of music.

I have taught private and group lessons in my home, institutions and students homes. i enjoy teaching students who are willing to make the effort to improve and that is achieved by consistent practice.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching when I was 17 and have a pretty busy schedule of up to 35 students a week! Many of those students still continue to take lessons after 3 years of instruction and have improved beyond their original goals. I find that each student has different interests (rock, jazz, classical, pop, etc.) which is why I enjoy focusing on what they want to learn. Other students do not know exactly what they want to learn; however, they just want to improve in playing their instrument all around. Read More
