I started teaching guitar in High School in 2009, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 8 years. I took private lessons for 7 years from four different guitar instructors, so I know what works and what doesn't. My number one focus as a teacher is keeping my students engaged, and doing my best to ignite their passion for the instrument of guitar. I start with teaching proper technique, form, and posture, as well as the basic chord shapes and strumming patterns, and from there I teach songs that both put these new techniques into practice and adhere to the student's musical interests.

I start all beginners with the Mel Bay guitar method. That's how I started. From there we create what works for them. I'm also learning as I teach and creating each lesson newly. I like to keep the lessons fresh and exciting too. Finding fun ways to practice the modes and scales. After each lesson we want to measure our growth and our progress. I also love seeing my students play live too. Read More

Playing any instrument takes hard work and passion. Everyone has thier own style and gift. The philosophy is just as important as the technique. My approach is about discovering the style and passion within the player. The technique will come with practice. Read More

Allowing students to move forward at a pace that feels comfortable encourages confidence and reduces frustration, creating a more positive and productive learning experience. When students feel supported rather than rushed, they are more likely to remain engaged and committed to their musical studies. One of the most effective ways I support steady progress is by setting realistic and achievable goals at each lesson. These goals provide clear direction and help students understand what they are working toward, whether it involves mastering a new technique, improving rhythm, or completing a piece of music.

I love watching my students learn and grow, musically. I encourage listening as much as possible in addition to daily practice. I like to give my students a variety of excercises or pieces to work on to ensure that they don't get bored or burnt out practicing the same thing. I am very laid back and easy to get along with, and I feel that above all else music should be exciting and fun for the student, whether it be performing in recitals or shows or simply for one's own enjoyment.

If you are young(or old) and want to play classical music, then we start with the basics. One of my favorite books to teach from is Alfred's Basics. If you are wanting to be a songwriter and play guitar, I teach basic chords and theory, and songwriting, and we build from there. Checking in is always important and I want to make sure my students are challenged and encouraged, but most of all having fun! Read More
