Over the last decade of teaching guitar full time to hundreds of students, my passion remains the same - teaching my students how to play the guitar, not just the songs. My own journey as a heavy metal lead guitarist and songwriter who's transitioned to classical music, folk and the blues has prepared me to teach how to play the guitar in almost every single style of music.

I've been a teacher of the body, the spirit, and the mind for 16 years. I teach meditation, mindfulness, and languages to promote a holistic study of life and well-being. I offer classes in meditation and mindfulness a little differently than many teachers. Many meditation classes are guided sessions which are nice but aren’t really “lessons” My goal is to teach you a practice that you can follow on your own. I want to become progressively useless to you! Haha! I will teach you how to start a practice, or help you figure out the next steps on your path so you can have the skill and confidence to endure whatever hardships life has to throw at you.

I have a Master's Degree in Asian Studies and I lived, taught, and studied in China and Japan for half a decade.

Whether you're just starting out or you have an established practice I can help ...

Having studied piano performance at Westminster Choir College after teaching myself as a teenager, and having taught piano for over a decade has prepared me to teach any beginner and intermediate piano student, no matter her background.

My classical guitar lessons focus on technique, repertoire, theory, and other concepts. This is accomplished through studies created by myself and through several books by master guitarists. I make sure students are able to isolate areas of focus and integrate them together to become well-rounded musicians.

I took up harmonica when I started songwriting, about five years ago. Inspired by Bob Dylan, the Beatles, and other pop/rock acts, I incorporated diatonic harp playing into my original songs. I later picked up blues style playing, improvisation, and other techniques. I'm happy to share my skills and techniques with harmonica players of all skill levels.
