- 10+ years experience
- I am friendly, patient, organized and knowledgeable. I tailor my lessons to meet my students current level, and I challenge my students to reach the next level of their playing *see my reviews :)
- All ages welcome!!
I have had the opportunity to play a variety of instruments - ukulele, acoustic, electric and bass guitar, mountain dulcimer, banjo, and most recently lap steel guitar.
Currently I play in a duet group with a fiddle player. In that group I play guitar and mountain dulcimer along with the cajon drum and tambourine. I also play electric bass and ukulele in a ukulele band.
I've played with various groups - church bands, a traveling band that played at healthcare facilities and retirement communities.
As a teacher and musician, I enjoy helping people learn and/or grow in their guitar and/or ukulele playing!!
I enjoy seeing the excitement on a student’s face when they’ve been able to successfully implement a particular skill and play their favorite songs!

I am a certified teacher with over 10 years experience playing instruments and playing in bands.
I love to help people learn and grow their musical skills.
I have always enjoyed learning about and playing music, and as a school teacher I have always enjoyed teaching people. The combination of my two loves is a perfect combination for teaching ukulele and acoustic guitar :)
I teach students of all ages - children to seniors and everyone in between. I teach students who are brand new to playing guitar or ukulele, as well as, students who have been playing awhile and want to take their playing to the next level.
I would look for a teacher who is passionate about learning music, playing instruments, and enjoys teaching. I would also look for a person who will challenge you to grow in your knowledge of your instrument. But most of all a teacher who makes learning fun!!
