As a teacher I offer a common sense approach to teachingall instrumentsto students of all ages.

Along the way they learn to read and understand written music, and just as important, how to play with and forother musicians. They learn to trust their ears and instinct, and develop the ability to create their own style and identity. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Ukulele Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Music

I took on my first student my junior year of college, and have taught students on and off since. I've taught guitar, ukulele, violin, and voice, but piano is what most of my students pursue. I do my best to make sure students are enjoying the instrument that they are handling, because if they don't enjoy it, why should they continue? I encourage performing opportunities, such as recitals and church performances, so that a student can become confident in their abilities, and be motivated to explore music beyond what I can teach them!

Instruments: Guitar

My experience in teaching lessons has been with students who are at the beginner level progressing towards intermediate. I'm open to teaching all ages, but especially like working with teens, as it seems there is a real excitement of learning the instrument at that age. I know when I first started taking guitar lessons I couldn't wait to have my next one, to show my instructor what I learned to play, or an original composition I had been working on, or in anticipation of what I would learn next.

This gave me a large amount of teaching and classroom management experience. Read More
