I'm a fun loving musician who enjoys sharing my passion for music with my students. I graduated from the College of Wooster with a Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance and then Florida State University with a Masters of Music in Choral Conducting. Music has opened many doors both professionally and personally. I have had the opportunity to tour up and down the east coast while performing with 16 voice professional choir and met my wife through a choir we both were singing in. Read More

My lesson structure is very flexible and has plenty of room for input from the student. My job as your teacher will be to give you technique building excercises and songs that will sharpen the fundamentals of playing your instrument. There are 3 parts to a lesson that I always like to touch on. 1) technique and warmups, 2) assigned material designed to be the stepping stones to your personal goals. 3) something that the student has picked out or has special interest in.

I'm a passionate and well-educated guitar instructor driven to help guide students through their musical journey. I'm currently working towards an Associates of Arts in music degree at Shoreline Community College and I have over a decade of experience playing guitar with a background in everything from jazz, blues, rock, to metal classical. I've had the opportunity to play on stage with artists of many different styles spanning from rapper Macklemore, to heavy metal drummer Jean-Paul Gaster of Clutch. Read More

My teaching style is structured primarily on learning to play by ear with light theory instruction. For advanced and more serious students, I am a huge theory nerd and I really enjoy teaching a more technical approach as well. My philosophy is to improve a student's skills by nurturing each person's specific interest and goals. I do not find it effective to try and force my own taste in music on my students, although I do make suggestions based on skills a student is trying to acquire. Read More

I began playing the xylophone at age 7, from 11-14 I studied the cello and played in my school's orchestra (receiving high remarks) and at age 14, my ears opened up to the sound of electric guitar in all its possibilities to make music. Since then, I am committed to the guitar and have not found an end to its possibilities. In 2012, I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a B.A. in Music and a B.A. in English. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Perfect practice makes perfect! Even if you are doing something at a slow pace, but doing it perfectly, it is much better than doing it fast and not having correct technique. You will eventually get the speed, but how you are executing the technique is what's important.
I started playing piano when I was 7, and even 15 minutes a day was effective when I first started. If you can practice more, great! But if you can't, just allow yourself 15-20 minutes a day, and you will start to see results. Always practice in a quiet and tranquil space with no distractions around. It should be your safe space that you love to be in!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they start asking about music, responding well to it, and showing and interest in it, they are ready! I remember asking my mother at age 7 if I could take piano lessons, and I'm so fortunate she was willing to let me do that because it started me on a lifelong musical journey.
If they understand an alphabet and basic reading skills, they can definitely learn music notes and a scale. I believe it will only help them in their other subjects they are learning, and will improve their attention span.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone is different, so it's hard to exactly say when you will see results. You might see results immediately, and for others it might take a couple months. Your main goal should be to see a difference in yourself, not to compare to how fast or slow others are learning. Every lesson you will be learning something and will be a mini milestone for you. You should feel proud of the fact you are learning and executing new techniques. Sometimes a goal can just be to have better breath control, and if you are doing that in your scales and exercises, you will see the results!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My elementary school music teacher was also my violin teacher in 3rd grade, and then my chorus teacher in 5th grade. She taught me how to sing and find a love in expressing yourself through music. I felt that she inspired me to never be afraid with music, and it was always my first love. Without her guidance, I don't know if I would've found out that I love singing so much. She was always patient, kind and inspiring. She was always encouraging and always was excited when her students made improvements and showed an interest in music. All she asked was for a smile every day and to put in your best effort which is something that still holds true for me today.
