I am by nature a service oriented individual, and a kid at heart. Teaching music is a very important aspect of my life - I believe in its power as a tool the build confidence, broaden a healthy emotional spectrum, and communicate with others. My patience allows me to work with my student's at their pace and to encourage them gently. I grew up with a few impatient music teachers and I am proud to have what I believe is a healthier approach to a practice that is at it's root a joyous pursuit.  Read More

I don't have just ONE method...because every student has different likes, and different goals, they need personalized lessons. Some enjoy music theory, others prefer to just learn a more basic approach. Since I learned formally (in school/lessons) and informally (by ear, self-taught and playing onstage), I can give students whichever method suits their goals, with as much or as little theory as they are comfortable with. I specialize in playing by ear, which is essential for students who want to play onstage or make music with others, without worrying about sheet music. Read More

I started teaching and touring as a guitarist at 16. I have been extremely fortunate to have toured around the world with several artists, in front of huge crowds, played on tons of records and taught hundreds of students. Over the many years I've been doing this, I have seen my students passion grow for their instrument which only pushes and motivates me to grow as a teacher. I have seen students go from knowing absolutely nothing on their instrument to playing some of the biggest stages and festivals in the world. Read More

I have also been in many bands of different genres including pop, rock, hard rock, country, and indie. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I start with Hal Leonards Essential Elements (or the Hal Leonard Guitar Method for guitar students) to build a strong foundation in reading music, proper technique, tone production, and fundamental skills. Once students have a solid grasp of the basics, I introduce age-appropriate solo repertoire to develop confidence and prepare them for their first recital performance. For adult learners, I tailor each lesson to their personal goals and musical interestswhether they are brand-new beginners, returning to music, or exploring a specific style. Read More
