Overview:
Versatile, skillful guitarist and a highly motivated, charismatic educator who feels at home in the classroom. Highly proficient in Ear Training, Music Theory, Music Technology, and Jazz Studies. Adept at creating impactful classroom presentations and thought provoking exercises to promote student engagement. Possesses strong communication skills to foster efficient and meaningful relationships with students, colleagues, and administrators.
Teaching history out of a textbook is one thing...teaching a student to hear the color of an altered dominant chord is a totally different beast. Music is a deeply personal endeavor and the paths that lead to its understanding are infinite. Teaching music requires the ability to communicate and inspire on a
personal level. As a teacher, I strive to find the thread that connects a student to their best personal path and in this process, both the teacher and the student are enriched.
EXPERIENCE
Performances with Celine Dion, Gary Burton, Tower of Power, John Swana, Wayne Naus, and many more in venues across the country, including Nashville, Las Vegas, New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia.

LESSON STYLE
I knew that I wanted to be a teacher before I ever touched a guitar. Growing up in a family of school teachers allowed me to see the broad spectrum of the educaGonal process, from designing lesson plans to filing report cards, and I quickly realized that a teacher doesn’t stop working when the bell rings.
