I am interested in the individual growth of my students. I encourage exploration and learning through experiences, and if my students leave my classes with a little more knowledge and a great deal more wonder, I consider it a success. I like to follow my students down the tracks they are interested in and then choose to broaden the path once we are there.

My voice instruction began in 2009, and the rest of the listed instruments I began to teach in 2012.

I am a local PNW artist and educator with a passion for both classical and modern music.

Alongside repertoire, I also teach music theory from beginning to advanced. Read More

I have helped people both young and old learn how to play bass guitar and perform with any band and in any style of music through private instruction.
