I also ask students what goals they have in learning the instrument, what they would like to be able to do in 6 months to a year.

Born and raised in Austin, Texas, I began playing guitar when I was 8 years old. My love for music has deepened over time, and I feel it is important to share my knowledge and passion for the art with whoever is willing to learn.

I played in Jazz Band through middle school and high school, which opened my ears to another dimension of music. Read More

Witnessing the musical and personal growth in a student is endlessly rewarding!

I am always so thrilled to be able to introduce students to a song/genre/composer that they are really excited about! Read More

From 60s classic rock to modern pop music, Stevie Ray Vaughan to Cage the Elephant, and even showtunes and Hip-Hop/Rap grooves, I hope to have something to offer to everyone. Read More
