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

My teaching experience began in 2008 when I started tutoring and assisting a choir director at a school in Boston, MA. I worked there throughout my schooling and transitioned to private lessons after graduating in 2011. I also started a program called Sing Play Rise which offered free private tuition for students who joined the choir. I then moved back home to be with family and have been teaching in the PDX area at various schools since then. Read More

I got my first guitar around age 16. I've been more focussed on guitar and music since around 2008 where a buddy and I started a music project. I now have a recording setup in my house and have written many songs.I also have experience playing in a church band.

I see music and theory education as a necessity for all blossoming musicians, and I enjoy helping others along in their creative process. I have been giving private bass and guitar instruction since the age of 16, and I believe patience and a teaching style that adapts to each student is the key to success in an educational environment. My experiences, passion for all things instrumental, and enthusiastic outlook make me an excellent choice for students looking to explore the guitar or bass at any experience level. Read More
