I am a music and Sound Design graduate with skills in composition, audio editing, guitar, piano, voice, and trumpet. My lessons are meant to be fun and expressive. Music is an international language that some people just need a little bit of practice expressing! Along with my degrees, I have a background in radio production, and editing for various forms of audio media. I've been a lesson teacher and mentor for a few years now and absolutely love sharing the power of music with my students. Read More

For beginning students, I begin with basic open chords and scales. Once the student has basic chords down I like to teach them a song of there choosing. I found this to be one of the most rewarding experiences when I began taking lessons. For adults, I like to hear any ideas they may have and give my input and direction. I work hard to keep lessons engaging for adults, I like to think every student can learn something new every lesson! Read More

Then I move onto movable chords, scales, and music theory. Once they get to more advanced techniques I will give them simple exercises and the songs they choose to learn will put them into context.
