Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience started many years ago with a few students who were interested in learning jazz and improvisational music. I have taught group classes and one on one now for 25 years. I have much experience working with beginner and young students making their first attempts at playing an instrument as well as players already proficient at the guitar who want to brach out and learn new things. I prefer to teach students who can commit to a regular scheduled weekly lesson as Ive found the consistant work on an instrument is what really produces the most positive results and enjoyment for the student.

I am a motivated and aspiring music educator. I have been in music since the 6th grade and am born and raised in Reno, NV. I graduated from ths University of Nevada, Reno with my Bachelor's in Music Education. I have been in an Orchestra every year of my musical career as well as participating in various Choir and Band ensembles. I have traveled with all three ensembles at some point, performing in various venues around the country and once in Canada. Read More

I'm a pssionate musician and music teacher. I enjoy sharing my passion with students. I spend much of my time composing and teaching. I graduated from Lewis and Clark College in 2012 with a major in English and a heavy emphasis on music. I have studied African drumming, electronic music, classical music and jazz. I am well versed in hip hop as well. I have stayed tru to my roots and focused on mostly acoustic music, but my range transfers over to electric as well. Read More

I believe that a strong foundation is essential for steady progress and confident performance. A comprehensive approach is my preference. Therefore, when I teach piano, I prefer Faber and Faber Piano Adventures paired with A Dozen a Day for added technique. Since many students in this school district are in band or orchestra, I usually use Essential Elements for Strings, Brass, and Woodwinds. I spend a reasonable amount of time preparing my students for our recitals and many of them join in the group songs, which have included "What a Wonderful World", "Happy", and currently "The Theme From Midnight Cowboy".

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child can sit in a classroom, they can take a lesson. It helps if we as teachers ascribe to a similar structure to the one that your younger student is used to- keeping a grade book, insuring there are defined activities each lesson, possibly having worksheets or homework etc. - This should install the same type of work ethic they exhibit in school.
Think of this as if they were getting a tutor on math or science or getting extra help from a teacher on a paper. We are only here to provide the guidance they need to be successful. It helps a lot if they are interested in learning about the opportunities music can afford them in college and in the real world.
When will I start to see results?
This is a very difficult question to answer. Frankly, your student will only see results if they are putting the time in at home. Any teacher that says otherwise is Lying to you. Best case scenario is that I introduce a new concept and and the student practices hard and gets it in their hands and in a couple months they the concept is being utilized naturally. The important thing to note is that this is like leaning an new language. there are people that study in college for years and still aren't fluent, but; there are students that are fluent by the end of the second year of study. the difference between these students comes dance to "personal investment" in their learning.
For best results: Be Immersive. and Stay Curious.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1.) Practice every singly day. The hardest part of learning a new skill is the early days. There will be moments where you are frustrated. There will be moments where you just want to give up. It is important that you realize that nothing is "TOO HARD" it is just unfamiliar.
2.) Being a musician is a marathon not a sprint. Start as slow as you can when learning material. This is a lesson that everyone has to learn the hard way. You have to crawl before you can walk, and you have to Walk before you can run. GO SLOW.
3.) This may sound like a contradiction to number 2 ,but ; Don't practice in marathon sessions. Your brain is only effectively retaining information for about 45-50 minutes at a time, AT BEST. I found that I grew the most in Grad school when I was practicing one head for 30 - 40 minutes then waiting for 10-15 minutes to "cool down" then starting a new item on my list of objectives. Do this everyday and eventually you will see massive results.
