I have fun with my students. They learn to play songs that they want to play, and I provide theoretical and technical instruction within that framework. Learning to play an instrument is a lifelong endeavor which provides both challenge and satisfaction. I'm an active listener and seek to understand each student's needs and goals. Education is a two-way street, and I learn from my students as they learn from me. Read More

I have been teaching music lessons for the past 10 years. I absolutely love it. I have taken students of all ages from knowing nothing to being able to play complicated pieces. It's amazing to see the progression. I can work with you on all aspects (theory, technique, scales, chords, etc.) for all styles of music, in a calm fun environment. My methods change for each student, depending on ability and interest. Read More

It is important to me that each student learns at their own pace when I teach. I dont want to force things upon students that they arent ready for, or dont want to do.

Through this, I will teach the theory aspect of the music they are learning to help give a better understanding of why things work the way that they do, and the why the way they sound that way.

Originally from New York, I lived in Washington D.C. for 3 years before moving to Boulder, Colorado with my wife and son in 2019. I knew I was meant to be a musician from an early age. When I was a kid, I always had music in my head. I got a guitar from a friend in high school and played it nonstop. Somewhere along the way, it just became obvious to me that I would keep at it my whole life. Read More
