Whether you are a beginner or a professional, I cannot stress the philosophy that practicing a little each and every day is vastly more important than trying to cram it all into one day out of your week.

I approach teaching from a place of understanding. The last thing anyone wants is to be frustrated by the thing they're passionate about! Not everyone learns at the same pace, so if a student is struggling with a passage or technique, I'll set realistic goals to motivate them to improve their skill in a way that entices them to continue. Whether it's breaking up a song into sections or slowing down a complicated solo until we nail the right notes, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Read More

I want my students to be successful. I will give them to tools to need to learn to language of music. I will direct them to the materials to help them with that goal.

I acknowledge students' growth and realize that everyone moves at their own pace. Read More

I began teaching private lessons five years ago and I am incredibly passionate about empowering my students to find their callings in the music industry. I find that combining classical and commercial training is extremely beneficial to my students. I train them in all styles, integrating and introducing my students to songwriting, improvisation, recording techniques, composition, and music technology. As a music producer, session musician, arranger, composer, songwriter, and artist in Nashville, Tennessee, I train students to find their sound and become leaders and innovators in the music industry.

I am not a taskmaster. I will gladly give homework and direction for what to practice, but it is not my job to berate students for not practicing as much as I would like them to. Everyone understands that music requires regular practice, and I believe that if it is worth it to a student to find the time to improve rapidly, they will make that time. I think my job is to meet you where you are every lesson, whether you want to invest hours a day into your improvement or whether this is a casual hobby. Read More

Every student is different. The first lesson I get a read on my student, and find out what music makes them excited. I also find out what their goals are with music. For example, some students may want to be better for school band, and some students may just want to be able to pay with their favorite songs. I teach my students how to read drum set music and provide charts for songs they are learning. Read More
