About me:
Based in LA, I'm a professional musician with a dynamic sound. I balance work as a professional instrumentalist, solo artist, and teacher. I can teach you whatever you'd like to learn on your instrument! Jazz, rock, blues, soul, pop, latin, and more.
About my teaching background:
I've been teaching for almost a decade and I love helping my students learn. I studied classical piano from the age of 7 through college and later fell in love with the guitar. Along the way I studied voice and picked up the ukulele! I also learned different methods and approaches to music education. These include but are not limited to the Kodály Method, the Orff-Schulwerk approach, Dalcroze Eurhythmics, and Gordon Music Learning Theory.
About my musical background:
As a guitarist, my roots are in blues and jazz music though I am comfortable with diverse genres (classical, folk, etc.). I studied guitar in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with Mark Koch (Pat Martino) and R.J. Zimmerman (Aaron Shearer). In college, I studied piano under the mentorship of Lois Svard (DMA, Peabody Institute). I also studied voice with Robert Kurth (United States Navy Band Sea Chanters, Pittsburgh Opera) and Lynn Fanelli (Percy Sledge, The Manhattans, Deneice Williams). I am an avid performer as well as an educator.
What our lessons will be like:
I am passionate about teaching. We'll work on reaching YOUR goals and playing the music YOU want to play. I'll help you build a strong foundation for all things musical - theory, technique, song repertoire, etc. But we'll do it in a way that's tied to actually making music and experiencing music. We'll learn by doing, and we'll play as much as we talk - if not more!
