I started learning guitar at 14, through informal lessons with family, jam sessions with friends and YouTube tutorials. I earned my Associate's Degree in Music at Frederick Community College, where I took Classical Guitar lessons and participated in Jazz Band ensemble. I transferred to University of Maryland, Baltimore County to study Classical Guitar Performance. In the music program I studied music theory, music history, performance techniques and various pieces of Classical repertoire. My most accomplished moment during my study of classical guitar was my Junior recital, in which I performed 11 pieces in the music hall of my university! My favorite styles to play are classical and acoustic. I enjoy learning about the history behind the classical pieces I play and the unique timbre of a classical guitar. I also like singing and playing acoustic, pop, singer/songwriter styles. My hope is that through lessons, we can work towards your music goals, whatever they may be, and that you have fun and find excitement throughout the process. I look forward to meeting you!
