Every person has different strengths, weaknesses, motivators, and goals. I like to keep all of these things in mind before I start designing a lesson plan for each person.

I'm a motivated instructor who loves sharing my passion for all things music; whether it be teaching, performing, writing or just talking shop about my favorite records or pieces of gear.

I have since then played in various bands and ensembles covering a wide range of genres including gospel, pop, rock, country, hip-hop, R&B and jazz. Read More

I feel that learning and playing music be, mostly, intrinsically rewarding because this is how the best results are achieved. Read More

I keep my lessons very relaxed. I want the student to feel comfortable. This does not mean, however, that I do not hold high expectations for my students. I hold the students responsible for their own progress. If they don't practice, they do not improve. I make sure they and their parents (if applicable) know exactly what they should be working on each week, as well as areas that need improvement. Read More
