I have been teaching bass and guitar professionally for the last 14 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with a very diverse group of students. I enjoy helping them all find their niche and develop their skills as they not only become technically proficient on their chosen instrument, but also become better all around musicians. In addition to teaching privately, I worked as an instructor for the School of Rock franchise for several years, where i taught both private lessons and lead various ensembles. I'm proud to say that I have seen some of my students go on to study music at prestigious colleges.

I believe that while teaching the fundamentals of music, it's important to work with my students on developing the particular skills that they desire the most. There are no two students who are exactly alike, and therefore, no two lessons should be exactly alike!
