All of the skills that I teach are based upon a lifetime of performing. I have been singing since I joined choir in 4th grade and began playing guitar at 14. I started teaching after I finished my undergrad, but my skills were greatly enhanced when I did my Master's degree. I was employed by FSU to teach while I was in my Master's, and I had a rotating studio of 10-14 college age musicians who I met with on a weekly basis. Read More

For beginners I start teaching basic chords and chord patterns to generate interest for the student.
