Being able to teach others and share my knowledge is what drives me, so I like to see progress. I have a goal-oriented approach that differs depending on the individual, but the results are always there. I love feeling the satisfaction of a student learning. Not to mention the relationships that are built and how much I learn from them in turn! It truly is a give and take relationship, just another individual sharing experience and knowledge. Read More

I am a creative, passionate, well-rounded music instructor who strives to instill a love for music in all of my students. Growing up in a musical household with both my mother and my grandmother as music teachers, I have been fortunate enough to have had musical exposure throughout my life. In 2012, I received a Bachelor in Voice Performance Syracuse University. In May 2020, I received my K-12 music teaching certification as well as a Master of Music Education from Temple University.

I have used many different methods over the years and will supplement any method book to meet the individual needs of the student. My preferred method for young students is the FJH Harris Young Beginner's Guitar Method series. For older students I tend to use either Mel Bay or Hal Leonard methods to teach the fundamentals and then add onto them with whatever suits the student best. For advanced students I prefer the William Leavitt methods from Berklee University Press, which will be a challenge for anyone! Read More

All students will learn the basics of healthy singing, intonation, pitch accuracy, rhythmic/beat accuracy, and style. A variety of repertoire is used, based on the student's preferences, in addition to standard literature, which is useful to helping the student develop essential skills. Singing is, perhaps, the most vulnerable musical instrument we have at our disposal. We will work at the pace and comfortability of the student. Confidence and empowerment are of the utmost importance throughout this process. Read More

I am an enthusiastic and energetic teacher that loves to help people meet their musical goals and succeed elsewhere in life. I graduated from UGA, in 2010, with a Vocal Performance degree. While I have a deep respect for classical music, I love rock 'n roll and enjoy helping others learn good technique that will last a lifetime. I have performed across the United States and Europe as a solo singer, in vocals groups, and rock 'n roll bands. Read More

Watching a student discover a passion for music is one of the most rewarding experiences I know. Therefore, it is important that the lessons be tailored to match each student's learning style and musical identity. I do this by setting goals that are realistic for each student's pace and finding out where each student's musical inspiration lies. While the fundamentals must be learned by all students, this inspiration will determine what areas of music will be most rewarding to them. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Because of The Beatles. I was inspired by my father's record collection. I fell in love with The Beatles at an early age. All the music I loved as a child featured the guitar. From The Beatles to Jimi Hendrix. I then discovered classical music through my teacher. Andres Segovia blew my mind. And then Django. Then The Smiths. Then Radiohead. It just never stopped. The guitar was cast central in all of it. I was amazed at how many different sounds, styles and emotions could be made on the same instrument.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've been fortunate to have had several great teachers who have inspired me. Beginning at a young age, I had a teacher who was talented and patient. He inspired me to practice. I couldn't wait until my next guitar lesson - I look forward to it all week. In college I had several professors who were instrumental in my growth as a musician. They challenged me intellectually. They challenged me as an artist. Being surrounded my musicians of world class caliber was highly motivating. My teachers were also working professionals who performed music around the world. I could see the results of hard work and practice in real time.
When will I start to see results?
"Results" probably means something different to various students. Establishing realistic goals is important. What are you trying to accomplish? Learning popular songs can happen quickly with regular practice. Performing an advanced classical piece is going to take more time. The more you practice, the faster you'll improve. Learning an instrument requires dedication, patience and discipline. It won't happen if you don't put the work in. These are valuable lessons that are useful in all areas of learning.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows enthusiasm for music and can hold an instrument they are ready! I've taught students as young as 5. 3/4 size guitars can help for the little ones. Do they love to listen to music? Do they sing along? Play air guitar? Talk about music? Do their friends play an instrument? For the younger child, they also must have the attention span to sit for a 30 minute lesson. The lesson time can increase to 60 minutes as they get older (7 - 10). Music can help build confidence in other areas.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a regular schedule with specified goals. 30 minutes of efficient practice will do more for your playing than 60 minutes of unfocused playing. Begin slowly, taking small sections of the music you are working on. Repetition is key to build muscle memory. If a particular section or phrase gives you trouble, slow down and repeat that phrase. Separate it from the rest of the piece/song. Visualizing your hands moving as you want them to helps. Close your eyes and envision yourself playing the part perfectly. Then slowly work through the section. Don't rush it. Time and repetition will get you there.

Looking for guitar lessons at home on a weekly basis. I'm either a strong beginner or very rusty intermediate. My true joy is playing along with the songs I love.
