Music is all about having fun, and expressing oneself. Read More

The method in which I teach is directly related to the wants and needs of the individual student. Wherever pertinent, I create my own professionally printed custom handouts for my students. I firmly believe it's important to teach in a way that compliments any students personal strengths as a learner. That said no matter how we get there, I strive to make sure every student is able to build a solid foundation in ergonomic, proper guitar technique, as well as an understanding of music's underlying structures of rhythm, harmony and melody.

I recently graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music, where I studied Contemporary Improvisation and Music Theory, and received Pi Kappa Lambda honors. I emphasize an aural approach to music making, based on developing a relationship between one's ear (as expressed through the body - the voice, clapping, even dancing) and the guitar. Read More
