I blend the tried-and-true poise of classical technique with holistic approaches to satisfy two purposes: 1) the traditional desire to hone skill with practice and discipline, and 2) the psychological development of the student's independent musicianship. Music without expression is only sport. While technique, exercise, rigor, and history are essential in order to develop the deepest possible understanding of music, I aim to go beyond this to shape the independent expressionism of each student.

I like to be 100% transparent at all times; I do not have as much teaching experience as other instructors might have. However, I've taught an array of different styles in my time teaching. In the past, many of my students have been experienced players in local bands reaching out because they liked my playing style and wanted a few pointers. Others have been people just wanting to get a better understanding of musical theory and musical site reading & writing. Read More

I am a multi-instrumentalist in Denver/Northglenn, CO. I play guitar, mandolin, squareneck dobro, and pedal steel. In addition to guitar and mandolin I can also teach dobro and pedal steel (these were not options to check on MUSIKA however I am happy to teach them if anyone is interested). I can teach all instruments up to an advanced level (I love teaching advanced players) although beginners are certainly just as welcome! Read More

I believe in celebrating even small achievements that mean a student's abilities are growing, while keeping an eye on the big picture of what skills are needed to perform at the level the student would like. Above all, I want the experience to be personal and fun. The last thing I'd want to do is make rules or goals that get in the way of the student's interest in making music. Read More

I've been teaching on and off for about the past 10 years. I graduated from Mcnally/Smith College of Music in 2005 and have been teaching ever since. Sometimes my schedule has been more focused on performance as I have done national tours and exstensive recording but I've always been passionate about teaching. I've always enjoyed watching the "lights turn on" as someone gets a new idea or concept and the doors open for them creatively. Read More
