Hello there! I have been playing music since I could barely play some twangy notes on my first guitar in 5th grade. Fast forward to present day and I have been fortunate to not just stop at the guitar but learn bass, piano (didn't start until age 21), ukulele, and audio production/recording along the way. Learning all these different instruments and skills has taught me that there's no one singular way to learn an instrument and I like to tailor lessons to the specific interests of each student, meeting them at their given skill level and then apply the fundamentals according to the song/style they're learning. I love to just chat about music
