I love seeing and hearing my students get something and play it well.  It is more rewarding than any amount of money.  I encourage my students to play and perform as much as possible even if it is just in their own home.  I keep the lessons well paces but I am not afraid to go off in a different direction if it suits the student.  Music should be inspiring and should leave the student always wanting to learn more.

Once students begin to understand how to read and play, I start to introduce the next level of material for them. For adults, I focus on what they are interested in and give more in-depth theory or compositional discussions if they wish or guide them towards playing pieces they always wanted to learn. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my days growing up as a boy scout and through musical leadership roles throughout my schooling. My inspiration in becoming a music teacher stems from teaching how to tie different knots on a camping trip and my love for playing trumpet. I love the art of teaching and the learning process.
