I started playing music about 18 years ago and have been playing drums for 16 years. I have played in styles ranging from, intimate free jazz duos to swingin' big bands. Acoustic indie folk to indie pop. Blues bands to country cover groups. All of which have been in a studio and recorded at some point. I like to bring this diversity and experience to my teaching, being able to give my students what they want to learn. And show them how to execute in professional situations.

I graduated from Capital University with a degree in Jazz Studies for Percussion, which is like a specialized performance degree. While there, I was in the top big band, top chamber percussion ensemble, and top small jazz combo. I was also in the wind symphony, rock band, and jazz percussion ensemble. Also, I was able to study all kinds of music and styles of playing. I picked up the bass and guitar, too.

I have been teaching for about 2 years and actively gigging for around 4 years. I am constantly trying...

I began taking private voice and piano lessons around the age of 7. I'm classically trained in both. After performing throughout high school, I studied Musical Theatre/Vocal Performance (Opera)/ Piano and Composition in a private college in NW Ohio. I have performed throughout the country while in college, finally settling in Columbus. I would like to help you form your craft into the performer you want to be.

My Background:

I have been playing the guitar for about 12 years and have been studying music for 19 years. I originally began studying music at the age of five, beginning with piano lessons, and continuing to study classically until I was 13. At that point, I switched my focus to guitar, and continued on to learn and play rock, classical, and jazz. I earned my Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies from Bowling Green State University and subsequently moved to Columbus, where I now teach and play throughout the area.

Experience:

I have 8 years teaching experience, and have taught students on the guitar from as young as 5 to as old as 65. I have found that every student needs a customized lesson plan, so lessons with me will be tailored to fit your wants and needs, and every lesson we will actively work towards reaching your goals!
