I began tutoring guitar while in college, which quickly led to a career in education. I have consistently taught music in addition to my full-time job as a classroom teacher for over five years now. My main desire is to impart the same level of passion that my own music teachers instilled within me. I have found that music is one of the most successful ways to balance our lives as we become older and busier. I focus on intrinsic motivation for my students; I will ensure that you find success in your desired genre both early and consistently.

I begin lessons by discussing areas of interest with my students; it is important to me that we are making successful progress toward your individualized goals, whether that might mean recording, performing, or casually playing in your bedroom. I am very flexible in my teaching style, and can confidently teach a variety of genres and techniques that suit your interests. I rely on a combination of synchronized practice, workbooks, and especially teaching videos. I am highly student-focused and believe that learning guitar can be fun and enjoyable every step of the way.
