Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I picked up bass while playing with a small jazz group that did not have a bass player. Read More

I started teaching two years ago at a private lesson studio in Denver called My Music Skool. My main focus was on piano and saxophone. Now I teach privately as a freelance musician. Two points I emphasize when teaching are practicing at least once a day no matter how long you play and learning what inspires you.

I believe in writing down notes that help students understand what they are learning, exactly what students should practice, and setting goals for their practice and overall progress. Read More

Everyone is different. Therefor, every student should have their own unique lesson to fit their own needs and wants as a musician and student. Learning the students interests in music is an important part of the first steps no matter how advanced they are. This will give the student and I an accurate gauge of how and what they want to learn. Every student will always need get some basics down right off the bat but if we are able to incorporate what a student enjoys then we can make the process of learning the basics much more fun and engaging.
