In addition to private lessons I have conducted group workshops, usually centering on topics such as improvisation, creativity, and extended technique. I have also been a guest lecturer at colleges, lecturing on the physics of sound as it relates to music-theory, and contemporary issues in aesthetics. When I'm not teaching, I'm working on my own music and performing regularly. I may occasionally need to reschedule a lesson, or conduct it online, when I have an out-of-town gig or tour. Read More

I began teaching guitar in high school to middle school students and continued teaching children and adults throughout college. While in music college, I grew to start to teaching bass guitar as well as drums. My teaching style is focused yet fun. Me and my students always have a good time through my curriculum of theory and how it relates to music they enjoy. Whether it’s finding music theory in Taylor Swift song, or learning the guitar neck through a Beatles solo, I always find a way to teach through interests that the students have rather than force a cookie cutter approach.

As my students progress, I will have them learn songs on the drum set by ear and by reading charts. I will also give them more difficult sight reading and limp independence exercises.

And I am here to make sure my students do exactly that. Read More
