I am a passionate musician and fully certified instructor who always looks for and sees the best in everyone around me. I am in three bands of various genres and I found over time that enforcing learning music through having fun with it is the most effective way to learn! Nobody wants to learn something if it becomes boring or a chore, so I always find ways to keep learning interesting. This helps my students grow tremendously in a very short amount of time, which is why my Google Reviews are consistently 5 stars! Helping you learn how to become a great musician is what I love to do most - so if what I say resonates with you, come in and I'll help you get started on an incredible musical journey!
I started learning to play guitar when I was about 6 years old. Had a few uncles who taught me how to strum a few chords here and there, and then went through about 4 actual guitar teachers before I found the one that really helped me the most. He helped me enjoy what I was learning. That was the game changer in my playing! Over time, I played in high school bands, church bands, and even occasional solo gigs and now I gig regularly with other like minded professional musicians. But what matters more than that is giving you my 30 years of musicianship, my 15 years of teaching experience and my passion to help you learn how to have as much fun as I am having musically today! I figured if I can continue to improve my teaching skills, you will have even more fun getting better, faster, so I sought out teaching certifications from the most effective school for guitar instructors in the world - Tom Hess Music Corporation! I am multi-certified, which means one thing - With me, YOU LEARN FAST!
Every student is different and I am extremely sensitive to what you need. Every student needs structured training and yet at the same time you should never be forced into the next stage in your musical development without a specific goal in mind. I have thousands of lessons that I have developed over time to help me do exactly that. This allows me to teach you on an individual level, even when you are in a group setting! Every lesson is meant specifically for you, no matter who is sitting next to you. This means you get better, every time you come!
I teach with a positive attitude and lots of encouragement. Why? Because this is meant to be a safe space for learning your instrument, whatever your age or current skill level. I am trained to find any area where you feel uncomfortable playing or learning and find new and better ways to help you get exactly what you want to play under your fingertips. I make sure that no matter what we do or where we go in the lesson, you get a playing victory every single time you show up! This makes learning your instrument something to look forward to and be excited about between lessons. THIS is the key to learning - having a LOT of fun every time you come! So bring yourself, your guitar and a positive attitude and I GUARANTEE your skills will explode (in a good way) with me!
