Berklee Performance Graduate Looking To Help Students Learn To Play The Guitar!

My endeavors in music first began playing drums back in elementary school. I continued playing for five years and participated in my local high school's marching and jazz band.

Lesson Details

I enjoy teaching all ages, either beginners or advanced musicians. I am always patient when it comes to learning music. Music is a language and can seem like learning to talk all over again. If a student is having a hard time with a concept, I try to break it down and try other methods in explaining so as to assure the student understands.

I understand that people learn at different rates and I always try my best to keep students interested in the guitar.
