I couldn't count how many students I've seen that only learn songs and later on, forget them and don't almost any knowledge from what they played. If you understand what happens "behind the curtains" of the music you like, dissect it and learn how to make something similar; that knowledge becomes part of your vocabulary and helps shape your music identity. That's what I strive to do with every student. Read More

I am not a highly experienced teacher but I have taught trumpet students online over the pandemic and also have taught some private students here in Chattanooga. I feel that my minor in Jazz studies in college and hundreds of private lessons throughout my life has given me many skills to show to other- not only on how to play an instrument but also diving into music theory, scales, chords, and some advanced jazz theory.

Simply put, music is one of the greatest forces for good in this world that I have had the pleasure to experience. I'd like to give to my students the ability to find the same joy I have found in it, and this is my primary focus in any teaching situation.

As a teacher, I always tell my students if they don't understand something, I'm not doing my job! This is why I always have multiple techniques and examples to teach a single concept. So if one method does not make sense to the student, we try another avenue to help avoid him/her getting frustrated. Also, I try to always make the student's weekly goals reasonable. Too much work often times will simply overwhelm the student, so I design a curriculum specifically for each student. Read More

For beginning students, I always start with technique and posture, as improper technique can be catastrophic to your playing down the line. From there we'll cover the basics, such as chord shapes, strumming patterns, and scales. On top of that, each student will receive a "riff of the week", a guitar riff from a song that is in line with their particular music tastes. For example, if the student in question likes Punk Rock music, every week we'd go over a riff from a popular Punk song. Read More
