About
I love how complicated learning guitar can be and am always up for the challange. As a musician who understands wanting to learn songs on the first day, I work with my students to achieve a step by step plan to playing or making songs. I have been playing guitar since 2006, self taught at first, and took leassons during my high school yearrs. I graduated college in 2015 with an Associates Degree in Music, focused on Classical Guitar and have taught since then.

How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching piano and guitar in a small family owned company called Piano Keys 4 Kids. As i was the first guitar teacher, i was in charge of starting their very first guitar program and creating a curriculum for that class.
What types of students have you worked with?

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
A recent evern was assisting my students perform in front of family and freinds while working at Guitar Center. They were nervous but did an amazing job and it was a very exciting experience.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a teacher who is willing to work with your goal. If there is a song you would like to learn, ask if there is a way to add it in the lessons and they should be able to accomodate. Also look for a teacher who is patient because everyone learns guitar at a different pace.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
If a guitar has not been purchased, a suggestion for guitar would be a good start. Other good questions would be how to sit and hold a guitar properly.
