About
I am a certified music instructor in the state of Maryland. I have been a active member of ASCAP for songwriters and publishers for over a decade. My first hand knowledge and experience of production and songwriting at the industry level will help my students to maximize their musical potential during our sessions.
Every musician has a unique sound; I teach my students how to apply the fundamental techniques to discover, express and launch that sound into the world. Whether your focus is artist development, songwriting, or music technology/production your opportunity for growth is limitless. Over a 10 year spanned I have helped my students write and produce their original music with the proper knowledge, confidence, creative freedom to begin their musical journey.
The online sessions are interactive, fun, packed with technique and updated information that directly applies to current industry standards.
I look forward to assisting you with sharpening your skills and maximize your potential!
Let's Get Started!
As a music coach, I enjoy seeing my students blossom in their artistry and skill. My job is to help each one of them realize their potential, sharpen their skills, and maximize them!
Listening to the goals of a student is key to their success. My main focus is on helping my students to reach their goals.
I get the most enjoy seeing the lights bulb go off and a student realizing their own potential. What an amazing feeling!
