I am a beleiver that the solid foundation is the key to musical success. This foundation is broken down into 3 sections (mental, emotional and physical).

The most importat item is to have fun, if your not having fun your intrest will fade. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I'm a 20 college student majoring at finance but with a passion for guitar. I've been playing since I was ten years old and teaching since I was 17.

These two methods work very well together to give the student a comprehensive experience with the piano. Read More

I truly believe that when students are nurtured and given a comfortable space they will excel as creating music and art is vulnerable and requires the student to let go. This cannot happen unless the teacher facilitates an environment and space for organic innovation by the student. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

My teaching experience began in college when I taught private lessons to students. I was a teacher at a preschool for those 6 years so parents that knew me became interested in me teaching their children. In the past few years, I have worked with adult students who have wanted to learn for their own personal interest or to add to their growing list of instruments they already play. I have found that a blend of modern and classical music is a great way to increase a student's technique while keeping them engaged and having fun. Read More
