My methods are tailored to the exact, specific needs of the individual student. I frequently check in with my students to make sure all of their questions are being answered, everything makes sense and, most importantly, they are having fun while learning their instrument.

I break down the seemingly colossal task of deciphering the guitar and present it in easy to digest, understandable lessons that not only inspire my students to practice but constantly engage and inspire my students to grow and to ask questions which leads to further knowledge.

Many exceed the expectation they initially set for themselves. Read More

I first began teaching privately at age 15 when a wealth of younger and older students at my high school took interest in learning how to play the guitar, and write songs. I believe the only way to truly improve is to practice, and to enjoy the process. Learning music is like learning a language, so it is a process of repetition and study.
