I am a patient instructor who teaches using a mix of music theory, lesson books, and other songs the student wants to play. My goal is for every student to find their love of music and want to keep progressing. While I love performing, I've found teaching to be one of my passions. The moment when a difficult concept clicks in a student's head is just as rewarding as performing on stage. Read More

My teaching journey began in high school when I led sectionals for younger classes and elementary programs, as I already knew I wanted to study music education. I started teaching private lessons to a few students in my free time, and this early experience helped me develop effective teaching techniques.
