Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Harmonica, Recorder, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Djembe, Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching guitar and guitar theory since I was in college. I believe that with hard work everyone can perform at a unique level. I incorporate other instruments into my lessons so students can see how a piece translates or transforms. Understanding the fundamentals of hearing music can teach more than any scale or chord book. If a student is having difficulty with a particular lesson, I redirect. Read More

I always want my students to strive, as I do, toward an ideal, without an attachment to the result.  For example, if a student wants to play like Jimi Hendrix and become a Rock Star, we will talk about what it takes to reach that goal and work (and play) diligently and enthusiastically toward it, and when difficulties inevitably arise, that's OK.  Keep up the practice and you will most likely reach your goal.

I have a lot of experience with curriculum development. My favorite books to teach from include Accent on Achievement, Alfred's Piano Book series and Essential Elements.

Hi! I am a full time middle school teacher based in Annapolis. I love working with children and families. In my free time, I teach, compose, and perform music in the Maryland/DC area. I've also had the opportunity to perform internationally (Spain, China, Argentina). I am trained in drums and guitar. When I'm not playing music, I'm listening to it :) I have strong communication skills and am responsible. I am great with connecting with kids and finding a personalized way to teach them that suits their individual learning style. Read More

If I recommend a piece that the student does not enjoy playing or is too difficult for them, I will accommodate their choice and give them a piece that better suits the student. For non-beginning players, I will look at the pieces they are already playing, and assist them in skills that still need work on their piece. After the piece they are already working on is better, I will assign more pieces and studies that will not only help them with skills that need work, but also improve the skills they are already great with.
