Introduction: I have had a passion for music since I was 5 years old. I got "the bug" learning how to play an old keyboard we had lying around my house. I started during Christmas time playing Christmas songs. In my teen years I got a guitar and never looked back. I have been teaching for almost 17 years and playing for over 20 and I still have the same excitement that I had when I first started playing. Having a career that is also my favorite hobby and thing to do is very rewarding. I also get to see that joy in students when they learn something new and they may appreciate for the rest of their lives and pass that joy onto others.

Ken made me feel very comfortable. He is so kind, patient, encouraging, and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed my time with him and improved my guitar playing because of him. :)

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    I have 20+ years experience as a musician and have taken self taught route and the lessons route. I believe 100% that being taught by someone who has sufficient experience really provides the roadway for a solid foundation whether you are planning on being a pro, just for fun and all levels in between. The combination of self-discipline and a good teacher are a must to have as a musician.
