I approach teaching in a very relaxed manner. If my students learn in a certain type of way I will differentiate my teaching style to accommodate them. I believe all students can learn and enjoy music, it is just a matter of finding the way that speaks to them the most. I do this by first seeing their experience level, asking where they are hoping to be, setting realistic goals, and by acknowledging their mile stones to keep their motivations high. Read More
Instruments: Guitar, Clarinet, Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar
For beginners, I show them basic chords (Major, Minor and Diminished) if they're a guitarist and if they're a bassist, I teach them octaves and basic waking lines. Once they progress, I show them common scales and chord progressions used in modern music and focus on developing technique. If they're intermediate to advanced, I ask them what they feel they need work on and we focus on that. For example, a student might want to know how to solo over a basic rock or blues progression or the bassist might wanna know how to make his basslines swing more. Read More

I am a composer, songwriter, pianist, clarinetist, and music educator who enjoys teaching students of all ages from a place of truth and empowerment. My goal is to help them break barriers of limitation so they can learn how to play piano or clarinet and write their own music in a safe and relaxed environment. I have a degree in music composition with a concentration in clarinet from Loyola University New Orleans. Read More

To become free as an improviser requires having a vocabulary in the particular language that you want to communicate with, and also the confidence to do so. So much of improvisation is negotiation with your fellow musicians. I love to help students how to be active and responsive in the musical conversations with others by improvisation games, call and responses, leading vs. accompanying, and more. Apart from building up the students' confidence, and their individual musical voices, their vocabulary, and technical skills, it is my highest goal to equip students to bring joy, beauty, and depth to any musical performance.
