I began teaching in college, and participated in several years worth of teaching courses specifically designed around guitar instruction. After taking several years away from music, I have gotten back into teaching as both a way to share my love of music, and as a valuable tool to provide not only inspiration to my students but to myself as well.

I truly enjoy watching my students develop a deep and important love for music. I believe the way to facilitate that is to really get to know your students. Some students benefit from organization while others do better with a more relaxed approach. I take the time to understand what each individual needs and I reflect on what I can do to meet them where they are. My lessons come with structure AND flexibility. Read More
