I blend the tried-and-true poise of classical technique with holistic approaches to satisfy two purposes: 1) the traditional desire to hone skill with practice and discipline, and 2) the psychological development of the student's independent musicianship.

Before earning my degree, I was a home educator for 5 years. In 2017, I was approached by Apple Valley Piano and Guitar (MN) to join their team of private instructors for their sub-group, A Plus Music Studios. During that time, I had the very great privilege to teach students of all ages ranging from 6 years to active seniors. In addition to guitar, I teach beginning piano. I also enjoy coordinating jam sessions for the students. Read More

The best music theory teacher I have had was organized and was able to stick to teaching one concept at a time, with sequential lessons building on the information from the previous lesson.

I have taught for 25 years and can teach any level on guitar and most levels on piano. I have taught thousands of people, many of them complete beginners who have become very accomplished musicians through years of lessons.
