I am extremely passionate about the voice and love teaching music to students of all ages! I've been a music teacher for 6+ years and taught at a K-8 school.

I teach most styles of singing- including classical, opera, musical theatre, pop, rock, country, and jazz. I love playing piano and guitar and will teach you all about chords, music theory, and how to play like your favorite artists! Read More

Instruments: Voice Drums

For a beginning student on voice or drums, fundamentals will be incorporated into their warm-ups each lesson and throughout the week. Each student has a reason for wanting to take lessons and incorporating that into the lessons will give the student more drive to practice. If a student discovers something while playing or doing warm-ups, we will continue down the road to see where the student's hands, voice, or brain want to take them. Read More

Instruments: Trombone Bass Guitar Euphonium Tuba

I currently play trombone in ensembles such as the Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra, Bone Therapy, Music City Bones, Music City Brass Ensemble, Franklin Brass Quintet, and in other freelance performances throughout the Nashville area. Even though trombone has always been my primary instrument I'm also very active playing bass guitar, playing in a wide variety of bands and genres ranging from hard rock to reggae. I believe that having an understanding and appreciation for other styles of music and instruments can help make a better musician, and learning a new instrument can be fun! Read More

Instruments: Music Acoustic Guitar

My teaching, instructor, and coach experience started around 10 years ago when I began mentoring aspiring songwriters for Nashville Songwriters Association. This led to coaching, and instructing, songwriters of all levels both in one on one and group settings, all the way to songwriting camps. I recently began remote teaching within these areas while also adding beginner acoustic guitar, and music production. I can help you become an "all in 1" musician, composer, producer, with a fun, and exciting approach, to keep it fun and not feeling like school. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Flute Clarinet

I like to spend the first lesson figuring out what the student knows so that I can formulate lesson plans that are relevant and chronological. Once a rapport is established, I introduce material that is both accessible and challenging and help the student work through the music. First we work on playing the right notes and rhythms, then we add musicality and expression. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For beginner students who are children I like to start by teaching them the songs that they like, because that keeps them focused on learning and engaged in the beginning. Then I go on to teach them the industry standards and classics that every guitar player needs to know to be effective. Finally I can move on to teaching theory and the reason why songs sound good in the first place all the while doing both Mel Bay and Hal Leonard lessons when applicable. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music and be successful! I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. I try and be an encouraging teacher while also providing constructive criticism so my studnet always feel like theyre growing in a safe environment. Read More
