I began teaching music lessons before I actually graduated with my degree in Music Education! In college, I gave voice lessons to fellow students regularly and lead many rehearsals and after school music camps for elementary and middle school aged students.

After graduation, I taught in a music studio focusing primarily on piano students and guitar students of a wide age range. Read More

I like to begin with understanding what the student wants to learn guitar for, whether it’s learning their favorite songs, they have an interest in joining a band, or they simply want to learn guitar for instance.

For beginners, I start with fundamental material — instrument acclimation and adjustment, learning chord basics, and some sheet music introduction. Read More
