By giving students the tools of improvisation and knowledge of chord progressions, I also encourage students to develop original songs.

I'm a passionate musician and teacher and would love to be your instructor! My love and experience is primarily in guitar, voice, and piano.

My lessons are organized around a few core elements: fundamentals, technique, note-reading, and repertoire. For all students, grasping the fundamentals of pitch and rhythm is essential, so exercises that continually reinforce these fundamental skills are a typical first order of business for each weekly lesson. Simultaneously, I guide the student through proper posture, form, breathing, and mental preparation. For children, and any adolescents or adults who are truly serious about music, I encourage the development of sight-reading skills for musical literacy. Read More

For voice, I start with posture and breath support and work on vocal techniques before we even start with singing songs. Read More
