I love teaching! I work hard for my students and we have a lot of fun! I have taught music since 2011 after I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a bachelor's in professional music/music ed. I also graduated with a masters of vocal performance in 2023 from Western Oregon University. Both schools focused on popular music and jazz but I am familiar with light classical repertoire and music theater. Read More

On guitar my goal is that the student can read in first position, play chords for five major keys and three minor, and to be able to improvise with a pentatonic scale. I start with the Noad beginning classical guitar book and the Guitar Workshop finger-style book (Hal Leonard). I also use various Hal Leonard and Mel Bay books depending on the genre the student is interested in. I use similar methods when teaching mandolin or bass. Read More

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.

My primary goal as an instructor as well as a performer is to create a life long passion for music and personal growth within each of my students, and making sure that each student enjoys and looks forward to their lessons each week is intregal to this goal. Whether an adult, child, beginner, or advanced, realizing the students motivation and personal goals for each lesson is important to tailoring lessons to each persons unique abilities and preferences.

I want my students to gain the most experience with technique and musical concepts early on in lessons, so theres always time to enjoy what they have learned. In my teaching, I am always focused on transmitting the technique and knowledge for sophisticated playing, regardless of the style. What I take the most pleasure in is trying to carry forward as much of that as possible while minimizing confusion and sense of trouble in pursuing music. Read More
