TEACHING PHILOSOPHY 

My specialty is working with students—helping them to find their voice through their music. I teach the songs that they are listening to, the music they adore. Most of my students like to divide lesson time between working on singing, playing, and songwriting. My forte is teaching you to accompany yourself on the guitar. I help students set their own goals, and design a curriculum that can take them from beginning guitar to on-stage performance. I am here for you to show you the steps to achieve your dreams.
