I enjoy teaching and watching musicians grow in their abilities. I like to give a solid base for a beginning musician to build upon while keeping lessons fun and interesting. Patience is the key, because I remember when I started playing and the more I practiced the better I became. I like to take our time and practice every exercise slowing until we become confident and then we will add some speed. Read More

I love music and would seek to help others' love and passion for music to grow. Your goals are very important to me. Do you want to learn the basics so you can play along with some of your favorite songs? Cool. Do you want to be able to play in a band? Great. Do you want to be able to write and compose your own music? Sweet. Whatever drives you, is what is important to me. Read More

My motto is my students create their own lesson. I formulate lesson plans off of the styles of music you are most interested in.

If the student would like to focus on more technicalities, that as well is a different approach. However, I do have a more structured plan for younger students. Read More

My lessons are well structured and prepared. We'll have a weekly lesson planner that outlines and monitors the practices and explains the focus for the week. Planning is not opposed to spontaneously having fun which is a core part of playing music. Planning helps you have fun as you enjoy your success and see how you improve.-Lessons always have a huge hands-on part: We play songs together, jam over chord changes or try to play a melody by ear.
