I started teaching the guitar shortly after high school. The first lessons I taught were through the music studio where I first learned to play the guitar. I've taught both group and private lessons, and have experience with students of all ages. I love to find music that my students are excited about, and I feel that music should be about fun and dedication. I'm all about playing with other musicians, so make it a point to find music that I can play with my students. Read More

I at least hope to instill a strong understanding and enjoyment of music in each of my students which they can share with the people in their life. Read More

For beginner students, I start with some fundamental basics but I always try to keep the information relatable to each individual student no matter what their skill level.

I like to teach by demonstrating information through songs that each student enjoys. The only books I tend to use are empty music books so I can write out specific music and instruction for each student. Read More

I am firm believer that this is not the case. Read More
