I began guitar studies under Mark Mazzatenta at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. I then transferred to Queens University of Charlotte to continue studies with Robert Teixeira, and was awarded the Queens University Performer of the Year in 2008. After earning my Bachelor of Music in Guitar Performance in 2008, I went on to study with Christopher Berg at the University of South Carolina, graduating with a Masters of Music in Guitar Performance in 2011.

I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 1977, I graduated from the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Performance. In 1999, I was certified to teach Music K-12 by the state of North Carolina after attending NC Central University. Performing all over the US has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play in North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kansas, Alabama, Ohio, Florida, and Connecticut.

Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Trombone Ukulele
I started giving trombone lessons to grade and high school student's since 2005. In 2006 I started leading concert and jazz bands. Immediately out of college in 2008 I worked as a music teacher teaching guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and voice for 3 years. In 2011, I moved to Peru where I was the #1 on call jazz trombonist in Lima, and was a trombone professor at the National Conservatory of music where I taught trombone technique and jazz improvisation.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Guitar Method as well as learning their favorite songs. For adults, I find out what the students are interested in, and guide my instruction accordinly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter they are beginners, songwriters, blues,jazz, classical, pop, funk, rock, fusion lovers or advanced players.

Instruments: Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Harmonica Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar
I bring a wealth of hands on experience in many settings as well as a background in music education at an academic level to my lessons and interactions with students. After initially discussing the student's musical background and ambitions, I am able to assess what is the best path for them moving forward. For beginner students that usually means providing a beginner method book to introduce the fundamentals of music (the Hal Leonard Guitar Method is my go-to for aspiring guitarists). Read More

I have been in love with music since I was a very young child. I was studying and performing singing and piano by the time I was five. I toured as a second soprano with the North Carolina Boys Choir for almost four years starting at age nine. I began teaching myself guitar at age fourteen. I was playing semi professionally as a performing songwriter when I studied guitar under master teacher Michael Kovitz in Raleigh NC. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Build it into a routine or schedule. (For example, always practice for the first thirty minutes following supper). Set a timer, don't look at the clock, and read the notes left by the teacher. I always give students a list of what I'm expecting them to practice, and part of the lesson is that I teach them how to practice what I've assigned.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Definitely a history teacher! History is my second love, and actually studying it is not that much different than studying musical styles. Both music and art reflect history almost more than a written record does! The world is full of rich cultures that I love to study, especially through music.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is usually one of two reasons a student begins lessons, and each have a different answer.
First, a child wants to learn. Sometimes kids say they really want to learn an instrument, but don't understand the effort and diligence that it takes. While music is a gateway to train a child in effort, diligence, patience, and self-discipline, it's helpful if you notice these qualities in your child in every day instances before they begin. If a child has proven that he is willing to put work in for other things, chances are if he's wanting to learn an instrument, he'll put in the work in that area as well. Also, long-term interest is more likely to result in long-term commitment. How long have they been asking for lessons? A couple of weeks, a couple of months, or on and off for years? These answers can help determine how ready your child is.
Second, a parent is looking to expose their child to music education. In this case, it's likely that the initial desire to play the instrument is not had by the child, although they quite possibly are open to learning and often do eventually enjoy it. Because a main ingredient of success is motivation, the same qualities from the first reason above can be good indicators that your child is ready to add this commitment to their life. However, if your child has yet to learn diligence and self-control, especially while sitting for long periods of time (such as the length of a lesson or practice session), I would suggest that you introduce them to this quality first before putting them in lessons. A child that has to learn to sit still at a piano bench, in addition to all the skills the teacher is trying to introduce, is more distracted, and therefore will stay at a beginner's level longer to compensate.
When will I start to see results?
It all depends on the student, the instrument, and what you consider to be "results". If you consider a short melody played on the piano to be a result, the student will begin to learn these little "songs" by the second week of lessons. For violin students, you may not hear melodies that resemble recognizable songs for several weeks, although many notes and exercises are learned weekly.
