I love people and I love music. My gift is teaching, and I think about it all the time. It gives me great joy to share what I have with you.

I teach a complete understanding of the guitar fretboard. I incorporate music theory and an understanding of chord structure in all lessons, and for all instruments that I play and teach. Read More

I create an environment for my students that is stress free and is open for creative minds to express to me how they want to go about learning music.

Flexibility and creativity are the keys. Each student is different and learns/progresses in different ways. I believe in encouragement and positive reinforcement. Setting realistic goals while challenging the learner to grow is a delicate balance. Inspiring a love for practice is essential.
