I ask all of my students to be prepared for their lessons with a notebook and pencil for lesson notes and assignments. I ask them to bring any materials they have and will often recommend books and supplemental material I have had success with. I believe in writing down notes that help students understand what they are learning, exactly what students should practice, and setting goals for their practice and overall progress. Read More

I follow a fairly simple teaching philosophy: Work and Play! I like to divide my lesson time into two segments. The first segment will be strictly technical studies and exercies (eg. scales, drills, theory, etc..) related to the piece I'll be teaching in the second segment of the lesson. Read More

I blend the tried-and-true poise of classical technique with holistic approaches to satisfy two purposes: 1) the traditional desire to hone skill with practice and discipline, and 2) the psychological development of the student's independent musicianship. Music without expression is only sport. While technique, exercise, rigor, and history are essential in order to develop the deepest possible understanding of music, I aim to go beyond this to shape the independent expressionism of each student.

Instruments: Guitar
My approach to teaching is very non-intimidating and I have a great personal interest in how all of my students are progressing. Beyond that, I make sure to cultivate a love of guitar and music in general within the student. Formal lessons eventually end for all students, and it is important to me that my students have enough passion to expand their abilities further once we are through. When you love playing guitar, there is no cringing before practice, no dreading facing the teacher next week if you don't. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Fiddle
I have fun with my students. They learn to play songs that they want to play, and I provide theoretical and technical instruction within that framework. Learning to play an instrument is a lifelong endeavor which provides both challenge and satisfaction. I'm an active listener and seek to understand each student's needs and goals. Education is a two-way street, and I learn from my students as they learn from me. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I am very passionate about music and I love to share music through teaching. I truly love to see people just enjoy and have fun while playing music. I started playing guitar when I was 11 years old and music has been a huge part of my life ever since. In 2012, I graduated from Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, CA, where I lived and worked as a musician and music instructor for 6 years before moving to Denver, CO in November 2016. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows an interest in music, s/he is ready to start lessons! The best way to determine if your child is ready for formal music lessons is to simply observe how he/she reacts to music, their interest level in instruments, and how often they engage in musical activities. It's usually not until age six or older that kids are truly ready to learn to play an instrument successfully for the long term.
So, how do you get your child excited about music?
Watch, Learn, Engage
For many kids, just having access to musical instruments piques their interest. Do you have a piano in your house, or know someone who does? Does your child sit at the piano and bang on the keys to make "beautiful" music? Does your elder child have a drum set that your youngest is obsessed with? Perhaps hiring a private tutor or looking into local lessons are in order. You'll find out pretty quickly how interested they are in music based on how they react to practice and lesson time.
Set Some Ground Rules
If you do decide to take the formal lesson route, it is important to set ground rules with your child about lesson and practice time. If your child isn't ready to put the time in, perhaps he/she isn't quite ready to tackle the musical world in a formal way yet. Hiding in the closet until the lesson is half over is a good sign that more time might be needed.
Be Their Biggest Fan
Even though it might sound like nails on a chalkboard, it is essential for parents to take a supportive role when their children are learning to master an instrument or beginning to sing. Reinforce that they are getting better, encourage practice, and follow up with rewards to keep them energized. If they feel your support, they are more likely to continue their dedication to music.
Join in the Fun
If you played an instrument when you were younger—or still do—don't be shy about it. Join your child and create a family band. Or if you just like to sing, grab a brush and rock out to that piano solo. Your interest will in turn keep your child's interest alive and growing.
There's no magic number quite as strong as a mother's intuition—so practice the above, and you'll soon sense when your child is ready to graduate from Tupperware to tuba.
