Hi there! Teaching guitar is my passion. Having played guitar for almost 20 years (!), I'm eager to pass along what I've learned and push students to develop their own love for the instrument. I started playing guitar when I was 7 years old, taking private lessons with my older brother (the local music school had a 2 for 1 deal!). After several years, my brother decided it wasn't for him, but I had fallen completely in love with guitar and music in general. Read More

From 2006 to 2010 I sat first chair in the symphonic orchestra at Lees Summit West High School (Lees Summit, MO) and was even a member of the Missouri All-State Orchestra all four years. From 2011 to 2014 I earned a Bachelor of Science in Music Production at the McNally Smith College of Music in Saint Paul, MN. Since then I have had the pleasure of teaching many guitar and bass students of all ages and experience levels, and I hope to continue to do so while I am not composing! Read More

In my studio, the most important thing when structuring lessons is to make them individualized. No two lessons look the same in my studio. If a student wants to work on composing, that will be the focus. If the student wants to work on sight-reading, we'll focus on that. Of course, it's important to be a well-rounded musician, but these lessons are for the students' benefit, not mine, so I'll make sure they leave their lessons with what they want to gain. Read More

I love to play the guitar! I write songs, teach music, and lead worship. It's too good not to share! I played trumpet in school from fifth to eleventh grade, and then picked up the guitar after my senior year in high school. I immediately began writing songs. At about age thirty I decided to go to school to learn how to be more professional in my songwriting presentations. I realized how little I knew about the thing I was gifted with so much. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I have a working curriculum that I think accommodates many different aspects of music, with a focus on individual playing styles and capacities. I adhere to what the student would like to pursue as far as material and technical ability. Most often I find it best to listen to the student and probe for the skills, styles and qualities that he or she would like to employ and at least begin with methods in the desired genre. Read More

I don't believe in a one size fits all mentality for music education, I've often seen this approach derail students from enjoying the process and eventually terminating their relationship with music overall. Students are a case-by-case basis, and in that regard, each lesson is catered to the students actual goals and interests. I believe in training our ears and our sense of rhythm to a point where the student can figure things out and make artistic decisions on their own and use lessons, less as a tutorial, but as a source of inspiration to pursue the things that brought them here in the first place.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
It was an obvious choice to choose performance, as my passion was so deeply engrained in playing guitar. Of course other degree programs can be more financially lucrative, but having the experience and knowledge set that a degree in music affords is so much more precious to me. Through my studies, it has been like learning another language, and I have had many rewarding conversations and experiences with other musicians that would be rendered impossible if I didn’t have the level of skill and training that was afforded to me by studying music.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
It is so difficult to choose just one, but I will soon have the opportunity to play “Spain” by Chick Corea, which I’ve loved for many years. I first heard a version of the piece played by a guitarist, Bireli Lagrene, and it simply blew me away. The head of the piece has some very challenging parts, and especially so for a guitarist because of some awkward fingerings. I have developed exercises specific to some of those to get to a point where I feel comfortable playing it. I will admit I am a bit nervous to perform it, but I feel confident that my practicing has prepared me to have an enjoyable performance.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Before I picked up the guitar, I was most attracted to a career in medicine, specifically surgery. My father is a physician, and I was always exposed to the world of medicine. My family has a pretty strong background in science, and I feel I claimed the roll of a scientist, but of a sonic variety. The mathematical mind needed for medicine and music have a lot of overlap, and I have heard of a number of music students that went on to pursue a career in medicine. My father’s first choice in a career was music, but he went into medicine instead, so I have always had my family’s graces to fulfill my love for music.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
This is a really challenging question, as I have had my hands in a lot of different genres throughout the years. My initial stages were of rock and roll, and I don’t think that will ever leave my heart, but after studying jazz for years, my personal style has integrated a lot of those harmonies into my playing. I don’t like to use the term fusion for my guitar playing, but I would say my approach to guitar playing is a synthesis of hard rock with jazz sensibilities. Additionally, I have played acoustic guitar about as much as electric, making this question all the more difficult to answer.
