Instruments: Guitar Voice Ukulele Music
I've been slowly teaching private lessons while I've been in the final years of college. With the KU curriculum, I have had to learn how to work with children from Pre-K to 12th grade, which means any age is something I've been prepared for. Also, I got to sing with the Intergenerational choir at KU, which would happen at the local community center with senior-aged people. I've sung jazz, musical theater, and classical pieces since high school. Read More

I try to concentrate on the learning progress and enthusiasm of the student. I want to know what motivates them and the parents and help them focus on that. I also encourage performance opportunities and recitals to give them goals to work towards. I go at the students pace while challenging them to the next learning objective. My lessons are very interactive and tailored to their needs while at the same time following a standardized scope and sequence to make sure all the essentials are covered. Read More

What do you want to learn? I encourage all students to convey to me their interests! I can come up with suggestions as much as you'd like, but my favorite lessons are the ones where a student has his or her own goal, and I'm able to help them achieve this goal in some way. We will always have technique exercises and drills to work on, but we'll never lose sight of why we do all this technique building in the first place - to get better at something we love! Read More

I am a patient and mild-mannered teacher. I take great pride in fostering in students a lifelong enjoyment for music. Self-confidence and self-motivation are my priority for students and I strive to nurture that every single lesson. I continuously praise accomplishments and recognize when students overcome challenges. Students mirror their teachers and when I am patient and kind to students, they are patient and kind to themselves. Learning an instrument is hard work and takes patience and dedication; harshness and hostility only work against a students ability to push themselves and grow. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Flute Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I believe in a student learning to hear music and think for themselves. Through ear training, creativity, and learning "how" music works, the goal is to get each student to not need a teacher to learn their instrument, but want a teacher so they may become their best version of it. I focus on this as a primary value in my studio. In lessons, we'll use formulas and concepts to understand "why" things sound good, and "how" we actually get better. Read More

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.
