I'm a dedicated teacher who wants to give students the tools to succeed in all aspects of music. I don't just train players to hit the right notes, I teach theory, ear training skills, and everything else.

Here I have expanded to teach voice, guitar and drums after spending a decade studying while teaching piano. Read More
