I have 12+ years of experience teaching all ages and have been a musician and songwriter my whole life. I was drawn to education and instruction from a young age, and began helping younger musicians through a local mentoring program at the age of 12, and volunteered as a student tutor and teacher's aide in musical and english programs from high school through college and beyond. As I began college, I also began instructing private students and taking gigs around town while working on my songwriting. I joined a songwriting organization at my university, which I later became president of, and began performing regularly, networking with other musicians and industry contacts, and organizing events. I still teach privately and perform professionally, and love nothing more than to share the love of music with all.

I strongly value theory and technical groundwork, but I also believe in guiding students toward the genres and compositions where they will find their own passion for music. With a solid foundation and an inner drive to keep playing, even beginner musicians can reach goals that may have previously seemed insurmountable. For beginners, we will start with the fundamentals and focus on pieces that they can master and enjoy as we work towards more complex repertoire and playing styles. I like to select materials specific to each student to best meet the individual's learning style.
