Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar

When I was about 19 years old, I began teaching independently from my parents' home in NW Oregon. I discovered I had a unique knack for communicating with younger generations and the feeling of seeing someone learning music was incredible! Since then, I have taught all different ages and different styles. I work one-on-one with you or your child, in a safe and fun environment, while we learn whatever it is you want to learn! 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 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

When I first started out I learned out to play in the classical style with the guitar and progressed my way through many different styles.
