Hello future students! I much enjoy sharing my experience as a creative musician to my students whether they are 5 or 55, beginner or advanced. I am a patient teacher and do my best to encourage each student to find themselves as unique learners (musicians) unto themselves.

During lessons, I record short demonstration videos and provide detailed tabs with practice notes so students leave with clear guidance on what to work on between sessions. Read More
