I'm a firm believer in reading music, no matter what style of guitar you want to play. As someone who didn't grow up with music, the thought of reading music seemed like a huge hurdle. However, I discovered that it was easier than I thought and being able to read music helped me to understand larger concepts down the road. I also know that most students start playing the guitar because they want to learn their favorite songs, and I make sure to never ignore what my students want to play. Read More

My teaching style is rooted in my love of music and people. It is a joy to get to know students as we meet regularly for lessons, and an even bigger joy to help them reach their own musical goals! Along the way, we can talk about a practice schedule that can get the student truly on their way to developing as a musician (considering both their musical goals and their other commitments).

In any lesson with me the studeent will be working on technique, ear training, learning music, and learning to play with other people(or "jamming"). The "jamming" section always keep the lessons fun and informative, and teach the student how to play music with other people. And as always, I encourage all of my students to bring in music they enjoy, so that we can work on learning it together. Read More

I am very passionate about music and I love to share music through teaching. I truly love to see people just enjoy and have fun while playing music. I started playing guitar when I was 11 years old and music has been a huge part of my life ever since. In 2012, I graduated from Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, CA, where I lived and worked as a musician and music instructor for 6 years before moving to Denver, CO in November 2016. Read More

I am a highly motivated, hard-working, and outgoing individual. I love people and believe thatteachingmusic lessons is one the best ways to connect with students of all ages and develop a relationship with them. I started learning piano in Kindergarten, began Saxophone in my 5th grade Band, and started tutoring other band students in 6th Grade. In 7th Grade I earned scholarship to attend Illinois Summer Youth Music Camp at the University of Illinois. Read More

From there I walk through how to learn the first song. For intermediate students, among many lesson objectives, I introduce scales, a focus on right hand technique, some composition, and an introduction to music theory. For advanced students, I introduce more complex chords (like barre chords, extended chords, common jazz chords), complex melodic technique, higher-level music theory, and composition. Aside from my basic lesson structure, I’d like the student to direct lessons too, whether it’s picking a particular song they would like to learn, playing a particular style, or come with any questions whatsoever.

For beginners I press through Hal Leonard's Guitar Method #1, laying a foundation of skills as well as approaching notation reading on the guitar. From there we begin to specialize based on the student's interest. For more advanced students, we'll focus on goals such as live performances, audition preparation, and repertoire. Read More
