"Music is the language of emotion, the stories of our souls, and to the musician, it is the magic power we possess that makes us truly special."
"There's nothing better than seeing a student light up when they finally nail a fill or beat that they have been working on for weeks. My approach to teaching is to keep lessons fun and
purposeful. I believe in inspiring students through my genuine passion for music."
"I feel comfortable playing virtually any style and I will show you the way to musical confidence.
I try to bring the best aspects of my learning experiences to my students, so I can help them to avoid the pitfalls that I have observed.
I am serious and goal oriented, but that doesn't mean we won't share laughter as we work. I am lighthearted and like to make my lessons fun, so that my students look forward to our time together.
I enjoy breaking down my student's favorite songs, but am always willing to share new music to inspire and encourage."
“Every student learns differently, and at his or her own pace. Whether they are seasoned players, or sitting down to learn their instrument for the very first time, I am committed to getting to know my students as individuals, and working with their strengths and weaknesses to provide a smooth, fun, and progressive learning environment.
I ensure that my students are playing what they want at the pace that fits them best, while keeping them well rounded in theory, technique, and sight reading.”
