I have infinite amounts of patience, which is the most important thing when teaching music. I adore teaching and playing music, and all of my students can sense this immediately, rather rapidly absorbing my love for the instrument and becoming passionate about it themselves. I give students realistic goals I know they can meet each week, and strongly recognize their achievements. I also ask the student many questions to learn what type of music they like best, what truly inspires them, so I can mold each lesson around these interests and truly engage him or her. Read More

I am a very happy, relaxed, and patient instructor. I have been teaching guitar and violin lessons for about 7 years. I enjoy sharing the knowledge and experience I have gained through a wide range of musical experiences, such as playing violin with classical orchestras for 8 years, taking private guitar and violin lessons for 9 years, and playing in many rock, jazz, classical, and experimental groups. I have been playing music for 14 years now and I am very passionate about learning more, composing my own music, and performing in my own bands. Read More
