I rely on a combination of synchronized practice, workbooks, and especially teaching videos. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Mel Bay's Guitar Method. Once the student has a better grasp of the fundamentals, I will then select solo repertoire according to their abilities. This encourages children to learn new songs and lets them know they have progressed. For adults or more advanced players, I try to find out what their interested in playing. No matter what style, there is always something to learn that can be applied to all styles. Read More

Ever since I was a child I had wanted to be a teacher. When I got to Central Piedmont Community College I focused on music education because I knew I wanted to teach music theory in college. After transferring to Wingate University I began studying choral music education because I was fascinated byhow the voice works and blends with other voices in a choir situation. I have had the opportunity to study rock bass, jazz bass, classical guitar, piano, and even private voice lessons from private lessons all the way up through college level lessons and these lessons have given me such a drive and passion for not only music, but music education.
