Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials

As a musician with over 20 years of teaching experience, I've dedicated my career to sharing the joy of music with students of all ages. While my primary instrumental focus has been guitar, I've expanded my expertise to include ukulele, recognizing its accessibility and fun factor for young musicians.

My musical journey began at age 6, inspired by rock documentaries and legendary musicians. I've since performed in multiple bands, taught music lessons in various settings including music stores, summer camps, and private instruction. My experience with School of Rock and extensive background in teaching guitar has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of how to make music education engaging and enjoyable for students.

I specialize in breaking down complex musical concepts into simple, fun, and achievable steps. My teaching philosophy centers on helping students discover their unique musical voice while keeping lessons entertaining and inspiring. Whether working with complete beginners or more experienced players, I focus on creating a supportive environment where students can build confidence and develop a lifelong love of music.

Working with children has been a cornerstone of my teaching career. Through School of Rock summer camps, private lessons, and group classes, I've developed a patient and encouraging approach that helps young musicians feel comfortable and excited about learning. My goal is always to make music fun, accessible, and personally meaningful for each student.
