Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage my students by setting realistic goals and proving homework after each lesson to perfect for the next lesson.

My instructing technically goes all the way back to high school when I taught a few friends how to play guitar, but it wasn't until I started college where I truly started to hone my craft. I taught beginner to advanced guitar/bass/ukulele/mandolin/beginner piano/beginner voice for 3 and a half years at Ben Owens Music in Remerton, Georgia. Read More
