About
I have taught beginners and professionals alike about music theory, composition, music history, sight reading, and ear training. Once those practices are solidified, I gear towards teaching advanced skills, improvisational techniques and more for real world applications. I have had over 50 personal students and have been involved in many impromptu last minute performances and recording sessions. I truly enjoy helping others learn to be creative, independent and lifelong practitioners of music, whether it be as a career or as a hobby. My versatility and creativity in music combined with my focused and organic approach to playing gives my services the adaptability to be used in almost any musical situation.
Exploring ones own self expression in any form is good for the spirit. When one realizes that there is no cieling to the limit of ones creativity, then there is limitless gifts to be recieved. Music is a gift wheather refined or just begginning.
