If youve been wanting to learn a favorite piece, working on that piece can get you excited about going to lessons. And, playing duets with your teacher can also be a great way to change things up. My experience as a teacher and my love of teaching is like the air I breathe........it's what I live for. In addition to making lessons, themselves, fun, I will help you connect with other musicians for additional opportunities. Read More

I have one major rules for all my students: No one is allowed to be overly critical of themselves when they are working hard and trying out new ideas.

His first composition went on to win a county-wide award for best original song. Read More
