Instruments: Guitar Voice

I focus on engaging my younger students, encouraging them to find their voice, and focusing on fun along the way.

For adult students, I focus on repertoire and material that they want to focus on learning in their own style. I emphasize breath support, body alignment, connectivity, and remaining comfortable.
