My teaching experience started while I was in college working on my Bachelor of Music degree. I gave private lessons to fellow students at my college and also was a substitute teacher for the music school in my hometown. From working with multiple guitar teachers over the course of 10 years, I have picked up on what did and did help me when I was learning. From that, I am able to adapt my methods for the individual student. Read More

My main focus of teaching is on the student, and on developing and expanding their existing musical interests. I develop a lesson plan and schedule that begins with the musical interests and passions of the student, their favorite bands, favorite songs and musical styles.

While in High School, I performed in every Ensemble I possibly could, which includes Symphonic Band, Marching Band, Orchestra, and Jazz Band. Read More

The spark in the eye as a musical concept clicks with a student is what drives me as a teacher. If I can lead the student to these discoveries then I am fulfilled as a teacher.

Helping students stay motivated and avoiding the ruts is a big concern for me. Read More

I also assisted in my Studio Ensemble class to teach arrangers and composers the general rules of writing and advanced theory. Read More
