I'm nothing if not energetic and relatable. My lessons are a safe space to be yourself, and to come more and more out of your shell. Music is a fantastic form of therapy, personal growth, and self-expression, and I do everything I can to foster these. Together, we'll set realistic goals and I will hold you to them, encouraging you constantly, and gladly calling you out on your fear or laziness. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Electric Guitar

Usually when I have a new student I ask them to play something for me that they know already whatever it may be so I can get an idea of what type of sound they are trying to achieve as well as what kind of technique they are using. The most important thing is not to mislead or discourage the student and I would point out what looks and sounds right and what needs improvement, from there I would determine what steps need to be taken to enhance or correct the student so they are headed in the right direction.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Organ, Synthesizer, Lap Steel Guitar, Ukulele, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I love to see my students grow and develop as their passion for music increases. I facilitate this by giving examples of goals that they can reach and examples of different styles and genres that they can immerse themselves in. By doing this students see that playing and possibly mastering an instrument is not just about discipline and practice but about a high level of expression and communication. The reward my students feel from being able to accomplish this instills in them great joy and pride and motivates them to work at other things in life the same way. Read More

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
