About
I have 30+ years of professional, private teaching experience. I specialize in tailoring the lessons to the students specific goals using the music they love. I teach students of all ages and all levels, including varying levels of physical and learning challenges. I have taught hundreds of students ages 5-85 in all different styles of music and music theory on the guitar, bass, and ukulele. My favorite feeling is when a student can't stop smiling because they are able to make the sound they want to hear!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to begin by learning what kind of music you listen to and would like to play. You might jot down a short list of songs you'd like to learn how to play so that I can get a sense of your taste and help carve your direction. It is also useful to know your musical aspirations. Whether you want to join a band or just play for friends and family, I will work with you to help you achieve your goals through the music you love.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started playing professionally when I was 15 and continued to do so while studying music performance and education at the University of Kansas. After touring the country with my band, I got married, and started a wonderful family. Since then, I’ve been performing and recording with various bands while helping people reach their musical goals through teaching private music lessons full-time.
