There are two selected teaching methods that I confer with in order to select the most appropriate method for my students.

Breathing is my main focus because without breath there is no voice no sound. Read More

I first started teaching music in 2014. I began as a guitar instructor, then made my way into teaching piano, drums, and bass as well. I believe that the best way to teach a student how to play an instrument is to first teach them how to play music. In my experience I have found that allowing students to try several different instruments and participate in group jams with other musicians teaches them to fall in love with making music. Read More
