My approach to teaching..

I am an experienced, passionate, patient, and relationship-focused instrumental music teacher dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment for my students. I strive to meet students of all ages and stages of development where they are and assist them in discovering the wonder of music while maximizing their musical growth.

With over twenty years of musical practice and ten years of teaching experience, I am committed to helping my students learn the music they love across a wide variety of styles, including pop, classical, jazz, funk, rock, metal, hip-hop, ambient, and electronica. I can also assist my students with music theory, production, and composition.

Whether you or your child are playing purely for enjoyment or preparing for performances, assessments, and auditions, I tailor lessons to help you improve, achieve your musical goals, and most importantly, enjoy playing music.
