About
As a musician of over 12 years, I excel in improvisational performance (guitar/piano), singing, and songwriting (I can read/write music and tablature). As an teacher, I am not only a hardworking leader, but I am kind and patient. What sets me apart from other services is that my main goal as a teacher is to suit my students, allowing them to learn as effectively as possible.
What I enjoy most about the work I do is that I not only get to be of service to others and make a difference in their lives, but I also get to spread the beauty and joy of music.
