Specialties

I strive to be well-rounded in my musicality. I teach both from a theory and "by ear" perspective. My goal for students is to find a love for their instrument and to reach their full potential. I especially love modern folk music and jazz theory.

Lesson Details

Students can expect results! We are going to have lots of fun, but also get into serious music training. My teaching will have professionalism, genuine care, personalized attention, flexibility, and customized lessons. I am very laid back, easy going, and fun, but do have high expectations for students to set goals and achieve them. Lessons will be catered specifically to the students' individual needs. My hope is to instill passion and creativity. Students can expect to learn and grow in ... their art exponentially. I promise to work tirelessly in helping students unlock their maximum potential.
