I began teaching private lessons five years ago and I am incredibly passionate about empowering my students to find their callings in the music industry. I find that combining classical and commercial training is extremely beneficial to my students. I train them in all styles, integrating and introducing my students to songwriting, improvisation, recording techniques, composition, and music technology. As a music producer, session musician, arranger, composer, songwriter, and artist in Nashville, Tennessee, I train students to find their sound and become leaders and innovators in the music industry.

I guide my instruction in order to keep my lessons, fun, engaging, and valuable to my students, and I customize each lesson to their interests and needs. Typically, I teach piano along with an area of emphasis, whether it be composition, improvisation, production, or songwriting. I believe that learning piano is best paired with a well rounded musical education. For beginning students who are children, I emphasize reading music and an understanding of music theory. Then, if the student desires, I train them in commercial styles such as pop, country, and jazz.
