I've been teaching for over 4 years with this last year at Guitar Center in Ogden. I love teaching and finding ways to motivate and get my students excited about learning and progressing on their instrument. I focus on developing a personalized curriculum for each of my students and helping them work toward their musical goals - whether it be casual strumming or more serious pursuits. I teach foundational music theory, fretboard, knowledge, reading/understanding tablature and also basic instrument maintenance. Read More

I encourage my students to practice smart instead of long. This is especially important for young students. I teach my students to self-evaluate their own playing.

I enjoy celebrating success. I feel that it is important to let the student set the pace and then encourage from there. Read More

I approach teaching with starting with a solid foundation for beginners. Starting each lesson with some warm-up exercises to help develop the dexterity and coordination playing the guitar demands.

My favorite thing in the world is seeing someone I teach fall in love with music. Because of this I find it most important that my students feel comfortable and not rushed or pushed to hard, I believe music comes best when studied at the students own pace. If there is something you want to learn or a goal you create then I will help you get there, if theres something that doesnt make sense and you want to recap it then thats what well do. Read More

My favorite part about teaching is teaching beginners. It's so much fun to introduce a brand new instrument to someone and show them all that learning music has to offer. I mainly focus on the basics of music, and music theory in order to give students the tools they need to teach themselves when I'm not around, or if lessons have to discontinue for some reason. Once the basics of music theory have been grasped, it makes learning the technical aspects of the new instrument much faster, and easier. Read More
