About
What separates me from most teachers is that I focus on PLAYING and DOING. My goal is getting my students to be playing their favorite songs and having my students create a genuine connection to their instrument and to music itself.
I will give suggestions on songs, but I encourage my students to pick songs that drives them. Songs that the students will love to play and have a great time doing it.
What I enjoy most about teaching is seeing the progression of a student. Especially when my students are excited to learn a their favorite songs from their favorite bands.

How did you get started teaching?
I have always had a passion for music since I started playing when I was 7 years old. By age 14 I had my own Rock band and we wrote original songs. In order for my band mates to play the songs I had to teach it to them. That is when I realized that I enjoyed teaching music.
My neigboor became my very first guitar student.
My passion also became teaching music as well as playing.
