Music is one of my greatest passions. I enjoy helping others discover or rediscover their love of music through a sensible approach and truly attempt to craft my teaching style to fit the indiviudal needs of each student. I think music should be a form of both creative expression and enjoyment - never a means to feel frustration or pressure.

Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I emphasize for my students. To truly become an accomplished musician, a student must be motivated to practice daily. I've found that teaching both classical and modern music motivates students to practice and continue to learn. Read More

Otherwise, what’s the point! In 2016, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences degree in Guitar with an emphasis in music composition. In addition to performing guitar, I am a singer-songwriter, and composer. These skills offer a unique ability to cross-connect with multiple genres ranging from Modern Pop-Rock to Contemporary Christian Music, and from Classical to Flamenco, performing either on classical, flamenco, acoustic, or electric guitar. This added versatility to my performing experience has opened many opportunities to perform in various venues and groups throughout the Twin Cities area, neighboring states, and abroad in South America and Mexico.
