Fortunately, music has been the central part of my life since I began lessons. Early on I knew I wanted to be a professional, and practiced to be able to study at some of the best music institutions in this country.

Good practicing habits and proper technique are key. Fundamentals are important for the creating of greater skill potential. In the beginning, I do focus on form as well as producing a good tone out of the violin. Piano is similar with form.

My goal is not to just make a great musicians, but rather to encourage others in their endeavors and to teach a method of practice and learning that can be used in other areas in life. Read More

Otherwise, what’s the point! In 2016, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences degree in Guitar with an emphasis in music composition. In addition to performing guitar, I am a singer-songwriter, and composer. These skills offer a unique ability to cross-connect with multiple genres ranging from Modern Pop-Rock to Contemporary Christian Music, and from Classical to Flamenco, performing either on classical, flamenco, acoustic, or electric guitar. This added versatility to my performing experience has opened many opportunities to perform in various venues and groups throughout the Twin Cities area, neighboring states, and abroad in South America and Mexico.

I like to think I'm a laid-back kind of guy, though I can get loud and boisterous sometimes when a student figures something hard out. I wonder sometimes if I don't get more excited about a student's breakthrough than he does! My wife sometimes tells me I have no "indoor voice," lol. I don't give grades (except for my college students, because I have to), but if I did, the grade would be either "A" or "I," as in incomplete, as in do it over until it's great. Read More
