However, it is my goal to give students the tools to learn music on their own such as sight reading skills, daily practice tools, and practice strategies so they are trained to hear if something is wrong and know how to fix it when I am not present. For beginning students I teach out of whatever book they are using in their school program and if none then I provide my own material, so there is no cost for parents unless the student wants to learn music outside of band, which they purchase on their own.

Instruments: Guitar

For beginning students, I would like to start with knowing exactly where they are at with guitar; how to hold it, how to tune it, how strum it. Once the student understands those fundamentals, I like to start on open chords with easy fingerings (usually learning chords is very exciting since you can hear what you are accomplishing). With that, I would like to get to know the student and understand what the student wants out of the lessons; what they like to listen to, what they want to learn, what is difficult for them, etc. Read More

I'm a 22-year-old music lover! I have played guitar since I was 10 years old and have taught and played with several people throughout the world.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students having fun! My goal as an educator is to engage every student through fun games, activities, and chamber music no matter how much experience they have with music. Students are always encouraged to explore different styles of music. In order to track a student's performance and progress, they are required to have a journal. In their journals, they will keep track of their goals and evaluate themselves. Read More
