Instruments: Guitar

I am happy to teach absolute beginners, intermediate players, and anyone who feels like they are stuck and can't get better.

After receiving an Arts Leadership certificate from Eastman in addition to my BM, I am a huge advocate for music in society and believe it is a universal language that anyone should have access to, no matter age, ability, etc. I want my students to feel empowered and believe that they have a place in the world of music, because there is room for everyone!
