Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

Electric guitar is my main focus, but I am also very comfortable teaching acoustic guitar, electric bass, and ukulele. I specialize in rock, blues, pop, metal, reggae, r&b, and acid jazz. I have experience creating and teaching curriculums for students (ages 7-12) in an afterschool program called PRIDE. I also have been giving private lessons in guitar, bass, and ukulele for about 12 years now, 4 of those years being in person at local shops and in home lessons, teaching students as young as 5 and as old as 85!

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Mandolin

I teach for several different schools in the Seattle area in addition to Musika. I've taught mandolin to an elderly woman who wanted to sing German folk songs to her grandkids, I've taught piano and ukulele to kindergartners, I've helped teenagers write their own songs and perform them to peers, and I've helped dads in their thirties to relive the glory days of Shoegaze and Grunge. With all of these students, I've helped them love the subtle, intricate, surprising parts of music and how to not only play music, but have their life enriched by it and share that with others.

Mylove for teaching stems frommy desire to pass onmy knowledge of musicto others. Helping others develop a passion for music is somethingIfeel isnecessary tocopein a world that can often be overwhelming without an outlet for expressions, such as music. I have been instructing students in percussion since I was a Junior in high school and taught at the Denny Way Music School on Capital Hill from 2013-2015. I have instructed students, from elementary school to adulthood, in areasincludingmusic theory, ear training and drum performance. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

My love has always been rock guitar so that’s what you’ll get with me; rock and roll, hard rock, country rock, rockabilly… you get the idea. Beginners need to learn to crawl before they can rock but everything learned will be for a definite purpose and not just because that’s how it’s always been done. Intermediate students will learn the guitar parts from a variety of songs in order to develop manual dexterity and a develop a basis for learning theory. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Trumpet, Harmonica, Ukulele, Recorder, Acoustic Guitar

When working with younger children, I use the Children's progressive method for guitar and for the older students I use the Hal Leonard guitar method books 1, 2 and 3. As my students progress, I supplement the lesson with songs that my students enjoy and want to learn. I also focus on ear training to help students musically hear what they are playing. Whether it's voice, guitar, ukulele, trumpet or recorder, hearing the music inside and being able to internalize the music is very important to becoming a well rounded musician. Read More
