Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have a very laidback, low-pressure approach - if you didn't practice, it's not the end of the world! I think back to my own days of taking lessons and remember how much more I improved in this type of environment, and how much more I loved the process. The difference between these approaches can be night and day, both in results and morale out of the student (which, again, I know from experience as a teacher, but also from my experience as a student).

I am patient and creative in my approach to teaching technique, sight-reading, and musicality. I believe that music performance should be an enjoyable and energizing experience for the performer and listener. I assign practicing material based on the goals, interests, and performance level of each student. While learning individual pieces can be fun, I also focus on giving the student the right tools to become a life-long musician in whatever capacity they choose. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I love playing drums, and I love teaching others how to play drums. As a recent graduate from the University of Washington's acclaimed jazz program as well as an alumnus of the prestigious Roosevelt High School Jazz Band, I am a professional drummer and teacher with an extensive set of experiences that are both unique and distinguished. Since middle school, I have been lucky enough to perform and tour all over the US and Europe, playing everything from house shows to esteemed competitions and festivals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I'm a musician to my core. I have love music since before I played it. I always like the bass guitar even though I couldn't play one (yet) and I really wanted to play bass once I heard Stanley Clarke play his bass guitar. I was blown away and I had to learn how to play bass guitar, which I did. I have traveled and performed around the world because of music. Read More

I have been teaching for four years in many capacities, from teaching full bands, to working one on one with students of all ages. I have taught many older students who have a strong foundation in music, as well as young students with no music expierience at all. I have competed in competitions and been a featured soloist, and my love for music challenges me to be the best teacher I can be. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
I am a very hands-on teacher. We do lots of improvisation and call and response games and sometimes I turn on a record or even bring a guitar to jam with the student. Playing drums is a very visceral, tactile excersize, and I often tell students, "That right there,that is how it's supposed to sound! Memorize that feeling and try to recreate it everytime." I am also a huge advocate of having students listen to as much music as possible. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set reasonable, realistic, and attainable goals. Learning and playing guitar is challenging. If you are frustrated, or not motivated, you are more likely to quit. Having a good teacher is one step in the process. Create a positive learning environment. Listen to music and practice the parts, techniques, and study the theory that applies to the music that you are passionate about. If you set your goals too high then you are likely to get frustrated. Be patient, but work every day, and be proud of the accomplishemets that you make everyday on the instrument.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If a young person is interested in music, listens to music, and has experessed interest in learning a musical instrument then that means that they can benefit from lessons. In my experience, the first lessons are a good way for a child to decide which instrument, and what style of music, is right for them. The first music lessons, might be very effective, and the student will learn quickly. It might also be a learning experience, that teaches the student valuable lessons such as discipline, and a strong work ethic. The student will benefit when thay discover an instrument that they enjoy, and a style of music that they love to study and perform.
When will I start to see results?
Results are attained by working hard and staying focused. If you lose your focus it easy to get frustrated and quit. Playing an instrument is difficult. Through practice, a supportive environment, and good instruction, students improve. In some cases, the results are dramatic. Once a student has the right teacher, the right lesson plan, and is studying the right instrument and music, they will advance. The more that they study and practice, the better they will get. It can a take couple of years, or more to achieve the desired results.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All of my teachers inspired me. Also, many other guitarists that I played with and worked with inspired me. Teachers spent extra time trying to explain things, or make sure that I was doing my best made a difference. If someone had more skill at one particular techinique, then I was inspired to meet with them and learn as much as I could from them. Other times I spent a few months studying with someone or attending a seminar. I was inspired by accomplished guitarists who also taught other guitarists through their skill and talent.
