Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin

I teach for several different schools in the Seattle area in addition to Musika. I've taught mandolin to an elderly woman who wanted to sing German folk songs to her grandkids, I've taught piano and ukulele to kindergartners, I've helped teenagers write their own songs and perform them to peers, and I've helped dads in their thirties to relive the glory days of Shoegaze and Grunge. With all of these students, I've helped them love the subtle, intricate, surprising parts of music and how to not only play music, but have their life enriched by it and share that with others.

I have helped people both young and old learn how to play bass guitar and perform with any band and in any style of music through private instruction.

I would ask an adult student why they they had come to study flute with me and listen to what they wanted. Read More
