I approach teaching from a place of understanding. The last thing anyone wants is to be frustrated by the thing they're passionate about! Not everyone learns at the same pace, so if a student is struggling with a passage or technique, I'll set realistic goals to motivate them to improve their skill in a way that entices them to continue. Whether it's breaking up a song into sections or slowing down a complicated solo until we nail the right notes, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Read More

As a teacher I strive to give my students their best guide to success, knowing that every student has their own individual needs and ambitions. I like to start beginning students on Pearson's Standard of Excellence books and then broadening out to other methods after they get a good grasp of the basic elements of their instrument. More advanced players will be taught aspects of music theory and how to become more of a complete musician rather than just being a good player. Read More

I am primarily a guitar player from the Hudson Valley in New York, currently living in Nashville, TN. I also play and teach bass guitar!
