I am a patient and mild-mannered teacher. I take great pride in fostering in students a lifelong enjoyment for music. Self-confidence and self-motivation are my priority for students and I strive to nurture that every single lesson.

Students mirror their teachers and when I am patient and kind to students, they are patient and kind to themselves. Learning an instrument is hard work and takes patience and dedication; harshness and hostility only work against a students ability to push themselves and grow. Read More

I began helping my friends work through their music when I was 19 at Missouri Western State University, and eventually cultivated a bustling studio of students through word of mouth.

As a former certified school teacher my focus is on laying the right foundation for a lifetime of musical learning and enjoyment for the student.

Techniques are like having more arrows in your quiver. The more techniques you have the more easily you can express yourself. Much like, the more words you know the easier and more proficiently you can communicate how you feel. (This leads you to self-expression.) Self-Expression is the ultimate goal.

Fundamentals remain the same at every level of expertise, and every age: whether we're referring to low breath support in singing, high wrist position at the piano, or how to use both amp tweaking and finger technique together to minimize 'clicking' in the bass guitar sound. These and all fundamentals which make up the foundation of any instrumental expression of music (including the voice, and especially the voice) do not change. Read More
