I also like to provide historical context and break down the "why" behind songs we work on in terms of music theory and songwriting choices, so that students can truly get a grasp on the entirety of the work rather than simply memorizing notes.

Lessons can be tailored to fit your specific needs. For younger students who need a more diciplined style of lesson, I make sure to keep them on a specific practice schedule.

Singing is one of the most therapeutic practices anyone can experience because the music is literally running in and out of your body. Read More

I create my own lesson plans. But I create after having related to my client. How you learn determines the plan. My preference is to teach to the song.

I teach beginning guitar and piano as well as bass. Read More

I approach teaching by focusing on the student. I find out what they need and want first. We set realistic goals together and I give them the tools to help them reach their goals.

I like to give them exercises to do on their own in between lessons so that time doesn't go to waste and they can see quicker improvement with their own practicing. Read More

At the same time, Ive been lucky enough to collaborate with legendary funk and soul musicians like Rocco Prestia (Tower of Power), Chuck Rainey, and Benny Rietveld (Santana) an experience that deeply shaped my love for groove, improvisation, and stage presence. This broad musical background allows me to connect with students no matter their interests whether thats classical piano, pop vocals, songwriting, or just building confidence to jam with friends.
