Music Lessons in Dibble, OK

Instruments: Guitar

I began teaching myself to play Guitar as a teenager and eventually taught myself to play other instruments as well. During this time I would learn all of my favorite songs by ear or with the help of tabs. Once I had started attending the Academy of Contemporary Music I learned more advanced music theory that relates to general music and Guitar. During this time I met my first guitar teacher who inspired to learn more and more about theory and guitar and even taught me about the production and business side of music. Read More

Instruments: Piano Cello

Each student is different, therefore each strategy varies. However, my overall goal is to have the student enjoy learning how to play their instrument as well as help grow their passion and love for music. Before I begin teaching a student I always ask what they wish to achieve with their instrument. This way, I believe, is best to plan accordingly for each individual student. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am an avid listener as well as player. I perform as a solo guitarist specializing in Celtic and American acoustic music. I also work as an accompanist on a variety of instrument (mandolin, dulcimer, banjo, guitar) for singer-songwriters. You can catch my band Harper Valley Hypocrites performing locally. Our material cover Dylan to Zevon as well as some great original tunes. I continue to write and arrange pieces for fretted instruments and find great joy in adapting pop and rock classics to instruments that are not normally used for such tunes. Read More

Instruments: Voice

Don’t be deterred by the thought of classical training techniques. The techniques and abilities I have developed did not hinder my ability to sing and perform other genres as one might assume. In fact, the opposite is true. The classical technique I teach helps the singer develop full control of his or her voice. This allows one to adjust one’s singing style appropriately to the genre at hand. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet

I first find out what inspired a students decision to study and/or play music. Then, I strive to adapt to my students learning style and use their personal interests to bring out the highest potential for learning. I write my own exercises for each student because I believe every student will have different needs that can be addressed with individualized exercises. Additionally, I focus on teaching students how to choose priorities for practice. Read More

Instruments: Voice

My work goes beyond traditional voice lessons—I help students connect their voice to their body, emotions, and sense of self. Whether someone is learning to sing, speak with confidence, or simply be heard, I create a space where growth feels both grounded and empowering. My teaching approach is rooted in personalization and presence. Each session is designed to meet the individual where they are, focusing on breath, release of tension, vocal freedom, and authentic expression. Read More
