Some students want to learn a few songs by their favorite bands so they can play music with their friends and family. Others are looking to make music a career. My job to help each student reach their own personal goals while having a good time doing so.

Instruments: Drums

I have been teaching since the age of 15. I've trained young church drummers as well as older individuals looking to either get back into drumming or improve their skills even more. No matter the skill level, my approach focuses on maxing the potential of the student. My playing experience spands more than 12 years in churches, bars, shows, and small business events. Read More

Instruments: Violin

My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching under the mentorship of my orchestra director. Since then, I have continued teaching privately, in public schools, and at the university level. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

Instruments: Guitar

I have recently started teaching in the last year on zoom and in person. A lot of my gigging and recording experience I have been able to incorporate in to my students lessons. I think one of the most important aspects of teaching music is how to learn. Every student learns differently. Knowing if they learn well by sheet music, by ear, or just working on technique. I enjoy teaching, putting students on the right track with what they want to learn, with the fundamentals of guitar in the beginning and that they enjoy it as well. Read More
