I started teaching music lessons about five years ago. I was a Pastor of Worship and Youth at a church, and I started giving voice and guitar lessons to students who were interested. As I continued to do this, I found that I loved seeing my students progress and become wonderful musicians. So as the passion grew, I began to teach lessons outside of church, and it has continued to grow in the years since. I love helping students skip all the mistakes I made early on and become fundamentally sound musicians who love what they do.

I have designed curriculums that work in phases according to the skill level of the student. In the beginning stages the curriculum is designed primarily based around the music theory required for playing the instrument at a high level. The lessons bounce back and forth between theory introduction and theory application. This continues throughout the beginning lessons, going from method to method accordingly. In the later stages I teach the student techniques and methods to improve form, speed, and overall functionality. These lessons are going to be less theory based, and more exercise based. Throughout all of the lessons the student will be given challenging and stimulating songs that are in line with the student's skill level. These songs will help keep the lessons fun and engaging, while building the students repertoire in the process.
