I love teaching and I love guitar! I feel so fortunate to offer guitar lessons as my career. Working with guitarists at any level is such an honor, and watching students learn and develop a passion for playing is the greatest reward. I enjoy everything about the work I do. I am dedicated to each student's individual goals and their success is my mission, whether they are taking up guitar as a hobby or professionally. In 2007, I graduated from University of Illinois with a Bachelor of Arts degree in guitar Performance. Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play both at the Krannert Center and music hall at UIUC.
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm not doing my job! My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn. I'm always looking to bring on new students of all ages!

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and need. can help you out.
