I am an instructor of of ten years and I have loved every moment of it.

Being excited about 16-19th century music I moved to Irvine and received a BM and an MFA in Lute and 19th century Guitar. Read More

If the student is a beginner, I would start with learning the fundamental chords needed to for a solid start to a music education. I would pick out a few fun and easy to learn songs, that contain the beginning chords to keep the lesson fun and interesting. I always found it more interesting to learn a new song rather than just to learn chords. Alongside learn chords, I also like to teach the basic fundamentals of learning guitar, i.e pick holding, strumming, and the parts of the guitar. Read More

In 4th grade I got a recorder and from then on I've soaked up all the music experiences around me. I fondly remember my first solo performance was 5th grade, and my first honor band was that summer. By my senior year of high school I had been involved in a couple dozen honor bands/choirs/orchestras including an amazing tour of Europe in a 200 person band! I've taught individual lessons to little kids and elders, of all different skill levels, and strongly believe that it is never too late to learn an instrument. Read More

I first began teaching music lessons as a way to earn extra money for college and I have been teaching ever since. I have been mostly a freelance teacher, but I have substitute taught many times at Musical Beginnings in Vancouver, Washington. My first instrument is drums, though I have also been playing and teaching guitar and ukulele for a long time. In church settings I have often had the opportunity to help younger and less experienced musicians find their place in the praise band or worship team and to learn how to play music as a part of a group.

I have studied piano privately for almost 10 years. My first experience teaching piano was in high-school, when I taught after school lessons. Since then I've had the opportunity to absorb the teaching methods of many excellent instructors. My teaching approach continues to be influenced by these teachers. For example, I have found that my classical training has helped me approach all genres and styles of music. As I continue to teach and learn in different musical territories, I constantly return to the fundamentals. Read More
