I have taught privately for 13 years now including my own studio, Guitar Center, Gallatin Music, and London Studios. I have publicly taught drumline at Riverton High School. I can teach many different instruments at a beginner level, but drumset is my main instrument that I can teach from beginner to advanced.

I progress at the speed of the student and style associated with the interest. Read More

I will teach you proper technique for playing guitar and singing, but what I really enjoy is the process of learning songs you love, and doing it with your own style. Read More
