Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice

I am an avid singer, voice teacher, and music director. I spend the majority of my time performing and training others to perform. I am a tenor but am capable of training all voice types. My main avenues of performance are on the recital, and musical theater stages. I just finished up a production of "Children of Eden" in which I performed as Cain. I received degrees in both vocal performance and music education from Florida Gulf Coast University. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements.

Instruments: Guitar, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I began taking guitar lessons in 2005 (age 15). When my instructor left to attend Berklee, he told me that I had the ability to teach all of his students, and that I should take his job. So from 20062008 I taught students ages 365 in all the genres listed above. I offered private lessons to some friends and classmates while I went to Berklee. I find that teaching is the best way to help me internalize musical concepts myself, and I get a lot of personal gratification from helping someone overcome their music and creative obstacles.
