The most rewarding part of my job is seeing my students develop a passion and love for music! Nothing makes me happier than seeing/hearing a student play something perfectly that they were struggling with! Acknowledging accomplishments and small moments of success is what fuels students to want to progress and build their skills. Since all students progress at different paces, I emphasize the fact that any progress is progress! Read More

Working for a local drum teacher in 2005, I started teaching private music lessons in students' homes. From there, I took up residence at a local music store where I taught guitar, ukulele, bass, harmonica, songwriting, and music theory for the next fifteen years. During the pandemic, I added teaching virtually to my repertoire and have fallen in love with it.

Instruments: Guitar, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I am new to the guitar teaching game, but I will provide an effective and fun lesson plan. I have had various guitar teachers in my earlier days and have a very good understanding of what works for teaching students guitar. If you give me the opportunity, I will prove that I am probably better than most of the teachers with years of experience. I started playing music on trumpet and had many achievements on that, but fell in love with the guitar and am extremely passionate about passing on my knowledge of music and the guitar to students who want to learn.
