Few things are more satisfying to me than seeing that "Ah-ha!" moment when a student understands something new. Being able to participate in that process of new understanding is a deeply motivational factor in my teaching style. Having graduated high school with the recognition of the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award as well as the experiences of participating in All-City, All-state as well as several other regional honor bands, my passions for music has continued to grow at the university level, making the Dean's List at DU and holding a GPA of 3.89. Additionally, I've been a working professional in the Denver music scene since 2009, playing for various music theatre productions, weddings and venues.
My teaching specialties revolve around electric and acoustic bass performance as well as basic piano and guitar, music theory and ear training. Although I'm most certifiably educated in Music, I'm presently working towards a degree in Psychology as well.
I've been teaching music lessons (bass, piano and guitar) privately since I moved to Denver.
I've been playing gigs around Colorado since the end of high school, working with a wide variety of artists. I've played musical theatre in pit orchestras, bars/restaurants, private parties, weddings and headlining concerts.
