I started teaching music about 10 years ago, and Ive always enjoyed working with students. Ive performed professionally in several bands on multiple instruments in the past 10 years, and Ive also done a good bit of studio work from composition and recording, to producing, to mastering. I emphasize practice, having fun, and learning useful skills as the keys to success in music lessons. I do believe a good combination of modern music, classical music, and music theory is the best way to become a well-rounded musician and maximize enjoyment! 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 not a taskmaster. I will gladly give homework and direction for what to practice, but it is not my job to berate students for not practicing as much as I would like them to. Everyone understands that music requires regular practice, and I believe that if it is worth it to a student to find the time to improve rapidly, they will make that time. I think my job is to meet you where you are every lesson, whether you want to invest hours a day into your improvement or whether this is a casual hobby. Read More

Teaching has been one of my passions since I've been playing music. It started with teaching friends how to play Metallica songs as a teenager, and has evolved into teaching my students how to write and perform their own music. I welcome students of all ages, whether you are just looking to learn songs, or learning how to write, or learning the nuts and bolts behind the theory of music, I have the tools to help you reach your goals.

I began teaching lessons in college. Most of my early students were elementary-school aged and novice. There, I learned that regular practice must be encouraged to allow interest to begin to pique and passion begin to form. I firmly believe that hard work and discipline go much further than talent alone. I also firmly believe in fun! My most deeply seeded goal is for my students to develop a life-long love and practice of music! Read More

For my first lesson, I ask my student to simply play something, whether it be a song he/she may have learned or something entirely impromptu. From listening to and seeing my student play, I can gauge his/her skill level in timekeeping, rhythmic phrasing, melodic phrasing, tone, musical interest, and hand technique. From there I can create a practice regimen that will facilitate my student's development in the most effective way possible. Read More

I strive to be an effective teacher whos able to provide a catered, caring, and educated learning experience for my students. I like to grow with my students as well, hopefully learning just as much from them as they learn from me. To grow as a person is the ultimate goal for myself and for my students and we use music to get there. I like to believe that I have found many ways to create a fun, productive, and educational environment in my own home or in a separate teaching facility. Read More
