Music has always been extraordinarily important in my life, and I love seeing when other people share that love of music. I've been playing guitar for 18+ years, and during that time I've played with many different groups in styles including rock, blues, jazz-fusion, jazz, avant-garde, and more. I've had the opportunity to study guitar with masters of the guitar including Dave Manley (played with Herbie Hancock, Jill Scott, The Roots, and others), Mike Stern (played with Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker, and many others), Tim Miller (Randy Brecker, Mick Goodrick, George Garzone), Norm Zocher (Jerry Bergonzi, Bob Moses, Esperanza Spalding) and more.

I've had to teach four to six instrument parts to the band mates for a single song. Stopping a jam to nail down a part can be frustrating and slow the momentum of a jam session, but I've always felt it is imperative to keep everyone knowledgeable and in pocket. So in my music teaching experience, I've learned to keep a positive and patient vibe. There are always little humps to get over when learning new instruments or material, but encouragement will lead to big reward once the new skill is ingrained properly. Read More

I believe that as an instructor, it is my goal to take a student who has a general interest in music and develop that interest into a life long passion for being creative with his or her instrument.

I have found that teaching a student successfully has come through analyzing the individual students' interests, goals and skill level and coming up with realistic expectations that can be achieved from one lesson to the next.
