Connecting with others through music is my greatest joy in life. I began teaching in 2007, when a close friend asked me to teach him guitar.

Since then, I have helped many guitarists find confidence and success in themselves and their music. Read More

For beginning students, I typically start with materials from Mel Bay or Hal Leonard. Once a student has completed this, I begin to offer materials that are more specific to the musical genre that they have stated interest in. As a student progresses, I work to expose them to a variety of techniques with a focus on helping them to develop their own unique voice on their instrument. My hope is that, during this process, students would come to view growing in their musical gifts as an enjoyable and fulfilling process that continues throughout their life. Read More

From the very beginning and on, I set goals that are challenging, yet achievable, so students have a continuing sense of accomplishment in their arc of progression. Acknowledging and building upon these accomplishments is a big part of my teaching method, as this keeps the process encouraging and exciting. Read More
