About
I have several years experience teaching all ages, from youth to adult, and all levels of musicians, from beginning to advanced. I have taught group lessons, band camps, high school marching bands, and individual lessons. From this variety of experiences I have learned how to make music lessons in any situation both effective and fun!
I love connecting with new people and learning about them. From there, we learn together how music best fits into your life!

I attended George Mason University as a music performance major, and also took multiple music education courses. I have been a student of music since 4th grade, all the way through college!
