I've taught music for many years in different capacities, from private drum and guitar lessons to co-directing a high school marching band.

I'm also a former high school special education and creative writing teacher (K-12 public school systems in Louisiana and Tennessee). I hold a B.A. in Music from New York University, where I focused on theory, composition, and jazz guitar performance. Read More
