One of the best things in the world is to see a student struggle with the material for a little while on to discover that they can actually play what I am asking them to play. To see the student start seeing their talent, to see how far they have come and their love for music. It is one of the best feelings to see this change. By seeing what drives the student and through encouragement, I try to show each and every student that anything in music is possible. Read More

I am 24 years old, and best known as the lead guitar player for rock band Throne Of Eden. While rock and roll is where my heart is, I am a very well-rounded musician. In 2017 I graduated from Mississippi State University with a Bachelors Degree in Classical Guitar Performance, and a secondary focus in voice. Unlike most guitarist, you could catch me playing styles varying from Mozart to Guns N Roses at the drop of a hat. Read More

I believe that education is something that should be enjoyable, especially music. Music is something that inspires us and makes us happy. I encourage those ideas in lessons, and I focus on teaching students to play with musicality. For each individual student, I set reasonable goals for them at the end of each lesson. I also explain to them how to practice, and how to do so efficiently. Another idea I tend to focus on with my students is performance and how to practice performing. Read More

I believe in individualized learning. So each student will receive their own plan for their progression. Some materials I recommend for students are the rubank book for beginner.

For advanced students we could use anything from method books to cds to ear training and transposition to bring out the best in the learner. Read More

Being up-front, teaching is a newer experience for me, but I have had some experience teaching young beginner students. While at that time I was teaching at my home, me being in college makes it much better to go to the student's home and teach. Since I have played my instrument for over 15 years, I feel as though I have quite a lot to offer when it comes to the essence of performing and putting on display a love for music! Read More

For beginning students, I use the first Essential Element book to introduce the first instrument and theory concepts. Once students have progressed past this book, I use the Tune a Day series along with the accompanying scale book. This book introduces students to solo and duet pieces worthy of a recital performance. Once they have reached the third book and are progressing through etudes, students begin working on individual solo repertoire pieces. Read More
