I helped out three seniors in high school this last semester, and two out of the three of them are actually heading to Texas colleges to pursue a career in music. Read More

Born and raised in Austin, Texas, I began playing guitar when I was 8 years old.

I played in Jazz Band through middle school and high school, which opened my ears to another dimension of music. Read More

Much of my lesson plan is specific to the age, experience, desire and ability of the student, but the basics tend to remain the same.
