I have a love for all kinds of music and look forward to teaching people that have the same. From country to rock, or whatever makes students want to pick up the instrument is what I'll use to teach them what they need and want to learn on the guitar.

In lessons, I maintain complete honesty with my students about their progress, but in a reassuring way to watch them grow as performers. Read More
