It's very important to me for students grow a passion for music. I celebrate every victory with them, no matter the size. Helping a student grow over time by setting really obtainable goals every week and setting short and long time goals. Constantly finding new ways to help inspire students to grow on their own as well as with me. Communication is key, if a student is feeling stuck on a lesson, I encourage them to reach out and I will customize a video for them to have a reference point anytime they need. Read More

I played bass guitar in high school and university jazz bands, the latter of which performed very well at the UNC Greeley Jazz Festivals in the early 2000s. I was required to learn to play and teach brass instruments, and am proficient at those, as well.

I begin with a meeting. A meeting about you...How you are doing this fine day. We will make GREAT MUSIC together and learn more about music and the world's vibrations together. I want you to tell me what it is you want me to teach you, and in the process I will learn how you learn. You teach me while I teach you; then the music will flow from ALL DIRECTIONS! =) My philosophy is a simple one. "If you put the work in you will improve." We will go at the pace that you desire and what you show me you are prepared for. Read More
