Hello! I am a classical guitarist and composer/arranger living in the Pacific Northwest. I am classically trained, with my Master's in Music from the University of Idaho (along with a Bachelor's in Composition). Apart from the classical tradition, I enjoy playing music from Latin America: especially Bossa Nova.

My experience with beginners and intermediate extends to all ages, focusing on the rudimentary exercises, scales, positions, chord progressions, music reading, Pentatonic/Chord Shape Theory, Singing with Instrumental Accompaniment, etc.

I have taught guitar lessons to a variety of different students, young and old, experienced and beginner! I teach a multitude of different genres and styles including Jazz, Blues, Classical, and Rock! I can help with everything from technique to theory and teach you any song you would like to know how to play. I have toured and played many music festivals so if your goal is to learn how to play guitar in a band setting I can also help with that!

Now here is a little bit about me:

I first picked up the guitar when I was eight years old and immediately fell in love. I began to play in many local Blues bands and went to jam sessions all over the Atlanta area while I was 9-14 years old. In high school, I was classically trained and won multiple classical guitar competitions. I was director of the Advanced Guitar class at my high school and we won superior ratings every single year we participated in the Large Group Evaluation Performance. I currently tour with the indie rock band, ...

I prefer to teach students based on their music preference by designing the lessons to focus on their favorite songs that can be used to explain instrument technique or music theory
