I have solid and extensive experience in teaching instrument technique, improvisation, and sight reading.

At our first lesson, we will dive into what YOU want to learn. It's my job as a teacher to facilitate a creative and challenging learning environment, but it's up to you, the student, to make the time we spend together something you would like to work on.

I have a relaxed teaching style which emphasizes positive encouragement and musical enjoyment. I tailor each student's lesson according to their level of playing, musical preferences, strengths, and areas which can use improvement.

I like to acknowledge the student's success while encourage them in areas that can still use more work. Read More
