I have taught in a variety of settings including children through teens and adults, and children with disabilities, both online and in person, one-on-one and in groups. I started in 2014. I have found that the best method includes positive motivation, which includes both encouragement for what the student is doing successfully, and also pushing the student in areas where they may feel hesitant. If the student enjoys the lesson and feels positive, they'll be less hesitant and excel! Read More

Seeing students excel at their instrument of choice is most rewarding. My goal is to help my students understand music so deeply that they can play any instrument they want. They need to know two things about their instrument. 1.How the instrument is tuned. 2. How to get sound out of the instrument. Mistakes are a prerequisite for learning. They have to be made in order to learn what is correct. I teach my students to practice like they are performing. Read More

When teaching strings to beginners I tend to teach out of a string methods book but I also offer stylistic direction outside of the book. I find this method helps the student with dependency of string books and helps to harbor curiosity to the vast world of music and methods beyond one book. I offer compositions fit to the level of the student and give them the opportunity to bring them up to performance standard. Read More

My student relationships have all developed from people approaching me after seeing one of my performances, which is the same reason why I have wanted to learn from others. I've seen someone doing something that I have felt I wanted to do. My teaching experience has been well-balanced in terms of ages, genders, styles of music, duration of lessons and the reasons for taking lessons. I have worked with boys and girls from the ages of 9 through 16, as well as men and women in their early 60's. Read More

Besides having an extensive career as a performer, I have always maintained 10-30 private students ranging from beginners to professional musicians. I can teach and play almost any style of guitar, and I always teach reading music, music theory, and proper technique along with any particular songs the student is interested to learn. As a University student, I began teaching at local music schools and found that it's a wonderful way to share knowledge and experience, and also to be around youth and become aware of how differently young people now experience music and acquire knowledge.
