I believe in creating individual course plans for each student. I always ask what the student wants to learn and if he has any particular songs he wants to learn to play.

I teach how to hold and tune a guitar, left hand positioning, using all four fretting fingers and other basics. Read More

Ever since I was a child I had wanted to be a teacher. When I got to Central Piedmont Community College I focused on music education because I knew I wanted to teach music theory in college. After transferring to Wingate University I began studying choral music education because I was fascinated byhow the voice works and blends with other voices in a choir situation. I have had the opportunity to study rock bass, jazz bass, classical guitar, piano, and even private voice lessons from private lessons all the way up through college level lessons and these lessons have given me such a drive and passion for not only music, but music education.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire.

I'm looking forward to working with you, teaching you, not only how to play guitar, but how to discover your love for music. Read More

I have been teaching music lessons for over 5 years. When I first started, I taught part time for people in my church. I began to realize that I love to help develop people. I see myself as a catalyst for realizing full potential.

Rather a teacher's greatest asset is inspiration. Read More
