My teaching style is "individualized." Although basic fundamentals are needed for anyone, where the focus is taken from there is completely up to the individual. Music is a diverse experience and I believe there isn't a one size fits all approach.

I began teaching privately about ten years ago. This occurred rather organically by having conversations with people in which they expressed interest in either learning a new instrument, or expanding on their preexisting skills. Though I do have a formal music education, I did start off self-taught, learning songs from my favorite bands and artists. Because of this, I use a combination of assigned songs and songs requested by the student to help build and conceptually realize their facility on their instrument, as well as basic scale and chord theory.

I Love teaching music, and love helping others progress on their musical journeys!

Now, I like to spread my love of music by showing others how much joy it has brought to my life, and helping them to experience that same joy. Read More
