I have been an enthusiastic guitar player for 15 years, and an instructor for guitar and bass for 10 years. I began teaching music in 2002, my senior year of high school, to begin making extra money for school. In the past, I have kept a steady repertoire of 3-6 guitar students, but I'm ready for more. My work experience extends beyond music into the field of Pediatrics and occasionally Geriatrics -- I love dealing with people of all ages. Read More

While I do like to use method books and curriculum such as Hal Leonard's Essential Elements for Strings and Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course, I also recognize that every student is unique. That's why I work hard to get to know each of my students and figure out what their strengths and needs are. Then I can tailor a path that is personal to each student and keeps them excited and engaged while moving towards their individual goals. Read More

If you are young(or old) and want to play classical music, then we start with the basics. One of my favorite books to teach from is Alfred's Basics.

I tailor a student's curriculum to their musical goals and needs, while making sure that I am instilling the fundamentals needed for pursuing music at the college scholarship level. Often this means scales, chords, arpeggios, music literacy, performance practice and listening skills. To accomplish this, I use standard materials that are often available online and are used by college and University music programs around the world. I have a variety of method books in different styles and from different time periods, and will select, assign, and provide a Method book to a student based on the student's goals. Read More

My methods are not standard, I believe in teaching technical sides of an instrument and the creative sides. For younger students I will teach them the basics of chords and progressions, eventually leading to write their first songs. For young adults and adults I want to have them learn chords, styles, and the uses of their instruments. Creativity will always be the most important thing to hone. Finding inspiration through practice and jamming with a friend or even a teacher is something I want to teach. Read More

Gigging with local heavy metal acts inspired me to begin my music education at AIMM, where I studied Music Production and Bass Performance. Read More
