Instruments: Guitar, Voice

My teaching experience began in my teenage years because my brother wanted to learn guitar, my cousins wanted to learn guitar, and my sister wanted help with singing! I've always enjoyed seeing other people get the hang of it. A few years back I taught at a music store in Warner Robins, Ga, where I had around 12 students at a time. I really enjoyed those students and I had a big impact on some of their lives. Read More

I have been involved in the music industry as a commercial session vocalist, demo singer, and vocal coach for over 35 years. In 1988 I received my associates degree in music performance from Augusta State College, and then moved out west to focus on a career in music. During the 1990s as a commercial session vocalist, I was fortunate to have my voice featured on national network campaigns for ABC, NBC and CBS, as well as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Wheel Of Fortune.

If students are beginners, I generally use the Alfred Lesson books which are made for children and adults. These include theory books which I love to teach! Knowing the music theory behind what you're playing is so important and helps the music make much more sense. As a student progresses, I like to have them choose a piece out of selected repertoire so that they may have a say in what they're learning, and so that they will enjoy it all the more. Read More
