Introduction: There are so many amazingly talented and qualified instructors out there. Some less experienced than me, some more experienced than me. But I think the key to finding a teacher that works for you, is sharing a vision about how to reach your goals together, in a comfortable and patient setting.
In the first lesson with a new student, we begin by talking about what styles of music you like, how long you've been playing, and what your goals are as a musician. Then we base lesson plans around those goals and work together, at your own pace, while exploring the building blocks of music through learning your favorite songs.
I teach music because it's been such a positive and fulfilling part of my life. My passion is to share the freedom and expression found in playing. I want to give you the tools to feel a sense of independence and creativity in everything you do, not just playing music.
