Instruments: Piano Guitar Harmonica Recorder Keyboard
I have loved music ever since I was three and picked up two fallen tree branches, pretending they were a violin. I want my students to have a good time and enjoy the lessons. All students learn at their own pace, and have different reasons for being excited about music and why they want to learn their instrument. I want to function as both a friend and mentor to my students. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
Each lesson plan I create varies from student to student. During the first lesson I have with a new student, I asses what they know, and what they would like to learn. I then teach the necessary building blocks in order to reach certain goals that the student and I set in a timely manner. By doing this, the student learns at a comfortable pace, and they will absolutely notice their progress after only a few lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin
Drawing upon my education and experiences as both performer and teacher, I strive to relate my musical background to my students' learning experiences and progress. As each student comes with his or her individual musical wants and interests, student lessons are designed to meet these needs of a particular student. I have young students of ages 5 to 14 as well as students of upper ages. According to a student's level of musicianship (beginner, advanced or in between), students are taught how to read music, music theory in relation to their progress, chords, scales and how to write/compose their own songs.

I like to create a relaxed and welcoming environment, and my students have commented on my approachability and my ability to create a nonjudgemental environment. Private lessons should be a place where students feel comfortable experimenting with what they have learned and being open to always learning new things without the fear of making a mistake. I help my students build a strong technical foundation so they have the freedom to express their creativity and play the songs that they have dreamed of playing, without any technical setbacks getting in their way.

Instruments: Guitar
Over the years I have developed my own method for teaching guitar students of different levels. The first step is always to determine the current knowledge and experience so we know where to start. For beginners, I like to help the student learn basic chords so that they can quickly play a few songs and have fun right away. The more a beginner enjoys playing, the more they will want to learn and practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I've been a music lover for as long as I can remember. I began playing guitar at age 13 and have continued to play for the past eleven years. I have been in numerous bands and played hundred of shows in Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and all around the state. I play acoustic and electric guitar as well as keyboard-piano. I have years of experience giving guitar lessons as well as recording music in my studio. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Ultimately it was in the latter part of my senior year in highschool. I had the question any senior had... "What do I do for the rest of my life?", and I had the question "Do I do what I love and live virtually penniless , or do I do something I don't love and make more money?" I chose the former. I'd rather work and work at something I love frankly. I have not regretted this decision.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My dad and uncle grew up playing saxophone in local bands all around Lake Charles, as well as the marching band for their high school. They played alto saxophone very beautifully.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I'm currently working on my Bachelor's in Classical Guitar Performance at the University of New Orleans. I chose this degree because I love the instrument and its music immensely. I chose performance over education simply because in a performance degree you get significantly more music related classes. During high school I worked in summer camps for kids, and the aftercare at a school as well as a nursery for a church. So I'm confident I can relay instruction to students without the education classes. After I finish my bachelor's I'll move on to become a certified teacher and teach locally wherever I can find a job.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Above all I want to perform Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" as the solo guitarist accompanied by an orchestra. It is arguably the most famous concierto in classical music as a whole, and is undisputed to be the most famous Classical Guitar concierto, and for good reason. It is the most gorgeous piece for the guitar, it's second movement tells the tale beautifully of this gut-wrenching heartbreak and loss, while its third movement is inspiring joy.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be pursuing a degree in the healthcare profession, either as a doctor or a nurse. This is influenced because I grew up with both my parents working in healthcare. My dad was a doctor and my mom was a nurse, and they came home happy so often and it was so clear that had an immense love for their professions and that was contagious to me.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical, of course. Growing up I never had many musicians to play with and so I looked for music that could be played unaccompanied. Classical music can achieve this easily by the many voices played on the one instrument, and is complex enough to not get boring on its own.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
All the instruments I picked up are closely related to guitar in some way. Technically they're all "Lute-Chordophones" which is a fancy way of saying that the instruments I play are fretted stringed instruments. Ukulele is like a mini guitar with its own specific nuances. Mandolin came from my love of its master performer, Chris Thile, and my love and origins in folk music.
