I can take on any student of any experience level, from beginner to advanced, young and wise. I love working with kids, and I am great with helping anyone overcome stage fright and develop confidence. One of the qualities I admire of those who have taught me is their approachability and acceptance. I am supportive and encouraging, and I love being able to watch my students grow into powerful artists! I am open to anything and everything that you want to work on.

I had a lot more fun with music when I’d learn at the pace I wanted to learn, and work on pieces I felt most interested in.

My teaching experience began when I was a senior in college, as I have taught guitar classes at a Denver high school and also taught privately out of my private studio. In my studio I like to work on the students goals and aspirations while also implementing an understanding of music theory and guitar anatomy. I encourage my students to practice regularly in an environment free of distractions so they can focus on the material at hand. Read More
