I have worked for many years teaching, counseling and assisting students with their love and joy of music. During my teaching career I have also helped students with conflict resolution, coping skills, issues with and surrounding pride and culture, college selection, application processes, financing and preparation for college. I have taught a very diverse group of students, which has allowed me to learn various approaches to communicating and working with students from all walks of life. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For beginners, I use handwritten tablature, online tablature, and Hal Leonard Instructional Books. For those interested in classical guitar, I use selected pieces from the Christopher Parkening Method Books. If you are wanting to learn for casual enjoyment, I will teach you basic chords, popular riffs and selected songs from classic rock, the blues, pop, folk or modern rock. I am a patient, passionate, devoted teacher. I always make my students understand the content of what I'm teaching by asking questions and slowly going over given material. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I love seeing my students grow in their knowledge and appreciation of music! Excellence is rewarding, and I teach the process to get there from whatever level we begin. I use positive reinforcement and notice what the student is doing right. Then, I give critique and an action plan to improve performance. It feels good for the student and teacher when they learn the methods to break down what is currently difficult into smaller pieces so that it is both manageable and possible to go further than they thought.

For the last thirty-plus years my passion has been music. I read magazine articles and books on music theory. I compile lessons from various sources, to create personalized lesson material for each individual student. Im currently taking advanced lessons myself, and teaching 2-5 students weekly. I have been writing, recording, studying, and performing music consistently, for over twenty years. I have intermittently taught private guitar lessons over the same time period. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, and have been consistently teaching students ant homes and in my home studio in Antioch for the past 3 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
I am a motivated musician with nearly 20 years of experience in playing, writing, learning, and teaching music. My musical journey began with metal, exploring various genres within it. In high school, I delved into Punk, Hardcore, and Emo bands. During my early twenties, I dedicated time to studying Classical guitar and Jazz, while also immersing myself in Indie Rock and Shoegaze. My passion for music extends across a wide spectrum, and I take pleasure in learning from diverse genres. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My aunt that I lived with in California for a few years had an old flute that she let me use for band in 3rd grade. She was in high school at the time, and was an amazing flautist who I always looked up to. She was the reason I started flute in the first place. Since then, I have had several role models throughout middle and high school as well as college. I feel like I was always under someone's wing, and that made all the difference.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The old adage, "Practice makes perfect" is truly an understatement, which many students discount throughout their musical tutelage. As a teenager taking private lessons and maintaining first chair in a symphonic band, I hated to practice, but knew that was the only way I would grow and hone my skills. Even if a student just plays a few scales and/or a song from their folder for 15 minutes a day, it's so much better than not taking the instrument out of the case at all.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is interested in learning an instrument, it's worth getting them lessons sooner rather than later, at least to see if it's really what they want. I lived in southern California at the start of my 3rd grade year, and they started teaching students on instruments in that grade. I started on the flute and fell in love with it. After a few years my family moved us back to Indiana, and they didn't begin any kind of instrumental instruction until middle school, which was the 6th grade. I was very lucky to have started early because it gave me experience. I am an advocate of always learning when there is an interest, not based on school criteria.
When will I start to see results?
I wish I had a crystal ball so I could tell you when you would see tangible results. Unfortunately, that's not how it works. There are students who are very quick learners and move through lessons without a hitch. But that is not always the case. Everyone learns at their own speed. If I see potential and to keep working, I will definitely tell you that your child is progressing in the right direction. Alternatively, if results are not coming at an average pace, or if the student is struggling, I would want to meet with you to evaluate their course and see if there are any alternative options. What I mean by this is the flute may not be the right instrument for them, but another instrument could possibly be a great fit. I would always take the time to work thoroughly with the student to find out their best fit.
