I began teaching music in 2008 to help support my way through college in Montana. I love to help nourish and guide a person along towards a goal. It's the same principal that applies to my work as a film director - I'm always trying to get the best out of everybody. I have taught students from the age of 4 to the age of 70, and have observed marked improvement in everybody I've ever taught, simply because I try to make them feel that learning an instrument is not "work" or a "job" , it is a passage that will allow one greater understanding of themselves and the world around them.
