I began teaching lessons 8 years ago when I was 16. I was heavily involved in my church's music program and I began with a few students who were fairly young. By the time I was 18, I was teaching over 15 lessons a week to students ranging from 4 to 45 years old. During my college years I was in school full-time, so I taught a small number of students on and off; however the experience I gained at Berklee significant increased the quality of education I'm able to give a student.

My instruction will give you the confidence and accountability to grow as a musician so that you can enjoy your craft as much as I do. Read More

Once a rapport is established, I introduce material that is both accessible and challenging and help the student work through the music. First we work on playing the right notes and rhythms, then we add musicality and expression. Read More

Each method has it's own advantages; I like to select a method based on the learning style and needs of the student. I get students into playing many positions earlier than most method books teach with my own system, which aids in perception of the shape-oriented and chordal (voicing) structures that are present in all pieces. The sooner someone grasps the "words" in the language of music, the better the student's reading and comprehension will be. Read More
