I always try to make my classes fun and engaging. I manage a very particular teaching method based on how I have learned from my mentors. On the first class I ask what the student's interest is and what would make him/her happy to learn, how the student imagines playing and what styles of music are the favorites ones. If the student is beginner, I like to start teaching basic knowledge of instrument technique accompanied by easy rhythms so that the student feels motivated. Read More

I'm a passionate, experienced singer/songwriter, guitarist, and performer looking to share my love of music. I started playing guitar at age six, and by the time I wrote my first song at age seven, I was hooked. While growing up outside of Philadelphia, I made a name for myself in the local music scene by performing at various East Coast venues including the legendary folk mecca, The Bitter End, and World Cafe Live.

I really enjoy working with students to figure out what their passion is within the wide scope of music. In 2013, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from George Washington University, where I studied a range of genres (including jazz, classical, and musical theatre) and instruments (voice, piano, flute, and even some latin percussion). Writing, arranging, and performing music is a great joy of mine, and I love sharing that joy with others. Read More

I encourage students to set goals for themselves on what they need to accomplish at each lesson. Lastly, praise and acknowledgement must be given as much as possible. Sometimes, the error's you are making during a performance isn't about technique, but about self confidence. Read More
