I usually have a certain routine that I take the students through. I teach them technics, theory, warm-ups, and performance songs almost every time we get together for a lesson. By the time I have been teaching a student for 6 months they always know what the lesson is going to look like before I get there. I always give them somethings to practic throughout the week to go over when we come together the next time. Read More

I truly enjoy teaching and bringing the joy of music to students of all ages. I emphasize developing proper technique from the start so students can learn to play with ease and comfort. I have a huge musical repertoire and encourage students to request songs that they would like to learn in our lessons. I do not believe that music theory should be separated from music practice. So whether you're interested in jazz, punk, blues, classical or anything in between, I can teach you the theory behind it and allow you to have firm understanding of the music you love. Read More

This is the kind of experience I hope to share with my students through music in a safe, challenging, and creative environment. It doesn’t matter whether students are seasoned musicians or first-time singers. Read More
