About
Hello! I am a professional classical guitarist originally from Oklahoma City! Since my career began, I have performed throughout the US, Spain, and Italy. Additionally, I have professional experience recording two albums, one as a soloist and one as part of a duo. I have garnered national awards for my playing as well.
My teaching experience is extensive. I currently maintain a private studio, and have taught at the collegiate level for two years. I am a high energy, passionate, and flexible teacher.
Since age 18 I have spent my life as a serious musician. Being able to share my insight with my students is a joy! Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to our lessons together!

My favorite part of teaching is the personal connection I form with each of my students, and seeing their progress throughout our lessons. I am a dedicated and passionate musician, thus being able to combine this artistic pursuit with the practical application of teaching is a meaningful experience for me.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When I begin working with a student, we discuss the student's goals with the instrument. From there, I gauge the levels of each of the musical skills necessary for accomplishing their goal. Then, we methodically begin developement through the materials and instruction I provide. It is a step by step process which is guaranteed to help the student improve as much as is possible for him or her.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a proud graduate of the Eastman School of Music, with both a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Guitar Performance. Additionally, I have garned multiple national awards for my playing in solo, chamber, and ensemble settings. Lastly, I perform regularly, in turn bringing a practical knowledge and insight into the art of performance for each student.
