I have been playing guitar since the age of 9. I have studied Classical, and Jazz at CCM's Prep Dept. in middle school and throughout high school as well as rock, folk, country etc. with other local teachers. I started teaching lessons at the age of 18 in local music stores and have never stopped. While doing this I attended The College of Mount St. Joseph where I studied Classical and Jazz guitar as well as Music Ed. In addition to my 22 years of private lesson experience, I have 2 years of classroom experience teaching general music in elementary schools. I believe it is my years as a student and instructor that enable me to be an effective teacher, having had learned what worked for me as a student, and what has shown to work as a teacher.

I have been a professional musician for seventeen years and have taught guitar and bass for seven. I have a passion for teaching and love seeing a new student go from being a novice to learning songs and eventually writing their own. I also teach students who already play but would like to learn new styles, such as finger-picking, or new musical genres. I teach students ages 5-99.
