Songwriting Lessons in Independence. Amazing Teachers.

Song structure, fill creativity, lyric writing, and more.

I have written and recorded with numerous songwriters and Artists such as Dell Grey from Little Texas, Josh Brock and Russel Jenkins.

I am an intuitive teacher, helping students establish a lifelong appreciation for piano and vocal arts, enabling creative freedom through musical expression and songwriting. I also guide meditation and yoga practices aligned with each student independently. I love teaching our children of today, adults of tomorrow, so let's get started!

Through the foundation I've gained by the influences of Mel Bay, Hal Leonard, and Suzuki musical instruction methods, I compile my own teaching materials. Using personally constructed guitar lessons, I demonstrate, instruct, and guide the student based on my assessment of their individual needs, skill level, and progress. Lessons are formulated in Modules, and advancement through them is based on the student's personal aptitude, skill level, and practice commitment. Learning is accomplished by ear as well as through essential methods of musical notation (tablature, 5-line staff, rhythmic comprehension). Students are trained to perform written music as well as to write and express the music within themselves.
I'm an encouraging and motivating guitar teacher with a casual relaxed approach. Teaching new guitarists is very rewarding to me. To see the light come on and watch a student perform a song, express themselves musically, and create their own composition is an awesome experience.

Through working with songs that are in progress or ones that have already been written, we will hone your technique and flexibility in song writing. Sometimes making up your own unique melodies or lyrics can be intimidating. I'm here to make it feel easy for you.

As a two time gold selling songwriter I can guide potential students on how to craft the perfect song...
