My teaching experience began when I was 12 years old: I started my own company and taught 10 students weekly for two years, culminating with a recital at my house to which I invited their families for a celebration in their musical accomplishments. This early education as an instructor helped me to realize how truly natural it is for me to passionately share my knowledge and excitement about music, while tailoring my instruction to each students' needs! Since then, I have continued to teach music all across America on my travels; No matter where I go, I always find someone in need of musical knowledge, and I always feel honored to share fun and fruitful training sessions with budding artists!

For beginners on guitar and piano, I start by introducing a basic understanding of music theory, so the students are comfortable with the fundamental mappings of notes and intervals. From there, I teach chords, scales, rhythms and song composition. I work with my students based on their individual musical preferences and desires -- whether you want to learn how to play your favorite songs, how to write your own songs, or how to play lead lines and solos, I'm here to support and nurture your craft!
