Since the age of 9, I've been learning and performing with a guitar. First it was recitals among my fellow peers at my local Music school.

My love of music comes from the personal fulfillment attained when creating original compositions. Learning to play songs that are enjoyable is great, but the best part of music comes from the ability to be able to invent and create something new. Read More

I try to make each lesson, fun and inspirational. Each person learns differently.

Music in the school system is taught backwards. If you're a beginner, you were put in a beginning class. this makes it very difficult for students to advance quickly because they aren't playing music with people who are more advanced than them.
