I have been playing guitar for the last eleven years. Music was something that took over my heart at an early stage in my life and I decided that it should be part of it for the rest of my life. I am a composer and a singer as well, I studied Recording Arts in Full Sail University and I currently own a recording studio that lets me have the opportunity to be creative with music and record it as well. I have been teaching guitar and voice for the last 5 years and I basically love to teach. Teaching for me is like another way of learning because every student is different and each person has something to bring to the table. Now I am currently teaching in a manner that suits every student; it is a fact that each student has a different pace and way of learning, so I always develop a teaching method particularly for each student that shows incredible improvement.

With almost 10 years of secondary teaching experience, both in a charter and public school setting, I am confident in my ability to become an asset to your student's individual educational needs!

A graduate of Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa (2003), I graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education with emphasis in both vocal performance and flute. I am incredibly active in several music professional organizations including FBA, FMEA/FSMA, MENC, IBA, and IAAE, as well as being an alum of Mu Phi Epsilon, a National Honorary Music Fraternity.

I was honored to be nominated each year while teaching at Ainger for the Charlotte County Teacher of the Year and was selected as the 2004 Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year for Charlotte County. This honor comes from student nominations that are sent in and was awarded $1000 to purchase supplies for my program.

Professionally, I have served as the Florida Bandmasters Association District 16 Secretary (Middle School),...

I am currectly a violist at Florida Atlantic University seeking my bachelors in Music Education. I have received the highest honors in state competitions and I have had the pleasure of working with some of the top university orchestras in the southeast, including the University of South Florida Symphony Orchestra and the University of Tampa Orchestra. I have also been fortunate enough to study with some of the great nationally and internationally known Suzuki instructors, whose knowledge and techniques I will share with my students. When I am not teaching, I enjoy music making in my community. But what I enjoy most is being able to teach the delight of music making to my students

My hope is to provide an educational environment that fosters the artistic, intellectual, and personal growth of my students and prepare them to embark on successful careers and productive lives as artists and citizens. I believe that every child should be given an avenue of expression and the access...

I'm a Berklee graduate with a degree in music. I have over 20 years experience playing composing and performing. I will teach you guitar, bass or keys in any given style. I'm great with music theory and ear training, and will work to make you a better musician.

With four wonderful years of musical teaching experience, I share my gifts and talents with those who too want to express themselves through music. I believe music is worldwide language and so do not intend to stifle any students individual style or sound with technique. Instead I allow the student to take the lessons and techniques learned and together we find ways to adapt to that style so that their best 'musical picture' is heard.
Apart from teaching, I enjoy singing at my own gigs, doing backgrounds for other artists, and working on new music for production in the studio. I have produced my debut album in 2007 and have released two new singles marketed to the Caribbean/reggae/latin genre. I have directed elementary and middle school choirs and led the musicianship of musicals.
I believe if a student has their talent, dream, and enthusiasm packed in their backpack...then they are ready to start lessons.
