Teaching students to play and enjoy music is extremely rewarding for me, and I love to help children and adults discover and develop their musical talents. I am a patient, positive teacher who seeks to challenge students to put forth their best effort and perform to their potential.  I foster an intristic love of music to motivate my students, so that their playing (including practice time) becomes enjoyable.  My instruction takes into consideration factors such as learning disabilities and developmental needs that are critical to students' success.

I am now a singer/songwriter and I perform often with my own band in which I sing, play guitar, write my own songs and arrange intricate backup harmonies and multiple instrumentation. Read More

Of course, we learn the basics (scales, sight reading, etc). but as far as the "hard stuff" we work as a team! Read More

For younger students, especially children, I will begin their first vocal lesson by standing next to them and showing them how to stand with correct posture.

In the best way possible, I will explain to them that in order to breathe correctly, they must be able to feel their stomach move in and out instead of their chest. Read More
