I've been playing guitar for 15 years and I always strive to learn something new everyday.  I started out taking private lessons and was instantly hooked.

I love being able to see my students succeed and show pride in what they perform. I consider how I can make difficult concepts easier to understand and apply and I always maintain patience as each student progresses at their own pace.

I try to strive for a delicate balance of productivity and fun, by engaging students in their true musical interests, as opposed to pursuing what they think they're "supposed to do" in order to improve. Picking up an instrument as a means of self-expression is such a powerful thing and I fundamentally believe that everybody should have access to do so. I seek to guide students through this process, with whatever outcomes they seek. Read More
