As a guitar Instructor I am passionate about working with my students and helping to develop their skills and reach their desired goals.

I have a few method books that I like to use in my lessons. For brass students, I like the Rubank method books for beginners and the Arban book for advanced students. For young beginners on classical piano, I like "Music Tree," and the Faber "Piano Adventures" series, and for older kids I use the Bastien literature series. For more advanced students, I prefer to work on literature directly and address technical issues as they come up. Read More

For beginning students, whether instrumentalists or vocalists, I focus first on establishing strong fundamentals. I often use structured, proven method books such as Hal Leonards Essential Elements, along with age appropriate warmups, technique builders, and simple ensemble pieces to build confidence and foundational skills.

For intermediate and advanced students, I customize lessons based on their goals, instrument, and musical interests. Read More

Although I knew I wanted to be a music major since middle school, I knew by my junior year of high school that I wanted to be a music teacher. And I have not wavered in that decision since!
