Would you like to write your own songs or just play other people's music note for note? Read More

I highly encourage my students to listen to various artists so that they have a good example of what they are supposed to sound like.

I also like to give them things to practice so they can get better in between lessons. Read More

I tailor my instruction to what each of my students needs and want to learn. Read More
