Teaching is a passion of mine. Getting to share experiences with my students is truly rewarding and I know it is something I will pursue for the rest of my life. My teaching style is enthusiastic and engaging. I beleive no single approach or method works for every student and having the ability to adapt is an essential skill for developing lasting student/teacher relationships. I accomplish this with each student by underlining expectations through short term, mid term, and long term goals. Read More

Im an experienced and accomplished musician, and I love sharing my love of music with students. Ive greatly enjoyed many opportunities to perform and teach music over the years.

For the student, it is of greatest value to work with a teacher who has already been through the process of learning, making mistakes, and growing as a player.  With over 20,000 hours of classroom teaching experience and endless hours of musical research, I know how to get the RESULTS that students want.  I can confidently say that, if students commit themselves to the path which I will guide them on, success is 100% guaranteed!
