As a music educator, my teaching methods are designed to ignite and nurture a deep passion for music in all its diverse forms.

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I like to take each of my students on a case-by-case basis. I learn a little about them, what their goals in taking lessons are, and what kinds of music the like to play. When I reach for a method book, it is usually Mel Bay or Berklee Music Press for electric bass and guitar, or The Simandl Method for upright bass. I like to gauge what level the student is at and go from there, making sure that they have a strong foundation of fundamentals regardless of what the student's ultimate goal is. Read More

Instruments: Violin Electric Violin Fiddle Music

I began teaching lessons 4 years ago when I decided to set foot on my career path of choice. I knew teaching violin would always become my career but didn't know quite how I would get there, and here I am 4 years later still pursuing it every day more passionately and purposefully than I have before. I started with posting substitute or private lessons online and got so many great job offers, and from then on I have advertised in schools and local music studios to bring in more clients.

I love seeing my students grow over the course of our lessons. Students will recognize improvement after only a few weeks of learning guitar. I enjoy working with positive reinforcement, encouragement, and the concept of working towards a goal. Students will learn to recognize the rewards of achieving their goals and how to create new goals on their own. I care for each of my students and love to see their joy when they get to play along with the songs they love. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone

My main goal is to show students how amazing playing music can be. Nothing is more fufilling than watching a student become inspired to grow as they grasp new ideas and develop a new skill. It is important to instill efficient and productive practice values in a way that that is exciting and fun, and that will foster the desire to learn and progress. Because each person processes information and ideas differently, it is my job to find the best way to "click" with each student in order to maximize their learning and understanding. Read More
