I use my own book and techniques which have been proven to work with every student that I have encountered. I am relatable and use techniques such as basketballs, tennis balls, as examples to be creative and unique.

The most important part of playing music is having fun! Music is about expressing yourself and you shouldn't be stressed out about learning how to do that. Each student has unique strengths and weaknesses and it's very important to learn each student's routines and habits.

See for yourself! Not every teacher is the perfect fit for every student. I am an encouraging and creatively wacky instructor who sets goals for every student. It's important for you to feel you are matched with someone who cares about your musical growth and can communicate effectively using your learning style. The only way to know if a teacher is a good fit is by taking a lesson. I have limited space in my studio and am an actively gigging musician, so I look for students who are ready to learn and will dedicate time to their musical studies. Read More
