Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My methods are to introduce an easy-to-understand base in music theory and applied music by explaining it based on how the music makes us feel.

Once they are ready, we can begin introducing simple songs and chords that teach the fundamentals in a fun and engaging way. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I began teaching as a student at OSU, then started teaching shortly after moving to California. I have been fortunate to have experience teaching students both individually and in group settings. My private students have been of all ages and different levels. One commonality I have found between students in these different settings is that they all have different goals and things that motivate them. With this in mind, I try to provide lessons that meet the individual needs of the student, while also keeping them engaged. Read More

Every time we practice we perfect our ability to communicate more fully. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Euphonium

For beginning students, my primary resource is generally the purple Primer level Faber book, however I often use principles of teaching from Simply Music and Piano Safari that allow beginning students to get right into playing some very interesting songs without having to read them. I think reading is important, don't get me wrong. However, I think that the ability to be versatile on the sounds of the piano without the abstraction of music notes can be very helpful for fostering a love for music early on. Read More
