I have considerable experience teaching music and first started giving private lessons in the early 2000s while completing my bachelors degree in guitar performance. As I went on to graduate school and then ultimately to complete my Ph.D. in musicology, I continued to teach privately that whole time while also teaching lecture courses at local colleges.

When studying with me, students can expect a comfortable and fun atmosphere that promotes experimentation and positive reinforcement. Employing a curriculum that is equal parts formal technique and informal playing of the students favorite music, I make every lesson engaging and exciting.
