I began teaching private lessons in Chicago in 2002, while in an Educational Administration Masters Program at DePaul University. I quickly discovered the gratification that comes from sharing and teaching music. I've taught students of all ages and abilities and enjoy the variation in the lessons within this scope. I have taught in conventional school settings as well as from the road while on tour.

In the start of lessons, with any student, we focus on how to pull a beautiful sound from the instrument, and then start working on the more technical details. Read More
