I taught my first lesson 5 years ago when I was an under graduate. I began teaching guitar to the public part time at age 19 in the music department of my community college. From there, I went on to a university and continued to teach guitar, bass, and voice while I finished up on getting my performance degree. Ironically enough, some of the best lessons I ever learned in music school weren't even how to play, it was how to teach. Read More

I have been teaching since the summer of 2015. I have had students as young as three trough the age of early seventies. Since starting teaching at a private music school, I have found that classical music, along with modern music, helps to keep students of all ages engaged. Based on regular practice, fun music, and an upbeat atmosphere, students of all ages will learn music fundamentals and history all while having a great deal of fun. Read More

I have been playing guitar for 30 years now. I began performing with various bands at the age of 14. I am thankful to have had talented musical mentors (band members, teachers, songwriters, studio musicians, professional musicians) to learn from and grow with over the years. I began teaching guitar back in 1991, while attending Samford University. I have continued to teach over the years since then, both part-time and full-time. I performed with various bands (of my own and joining with others in) throughout high school and college. Read More

With that being said I only want to enhance what they know not make them like me or every one else. Music is a art form as well as a true discipline thus I want to encourage consistency but most of all I want to stress artistry. Read More
