About
Taking a collaborative approach, I steer lessons towards whatever the student's musical goals are while moving at a pace that's comfortable. I create learning resources for my students, (tablature, leadsheets, visual examples of theory etc.) in addition to learning their preferred songs during my free time, so no part of the lesson is wasted.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I figure out what their needs and goals are as a musician in order to customize the lessons to fit their learning style and desired outcomes. Then I take one lesson at a time, moving at their pace, while doing the proper preparation for each lesson beforehand, to make sure none of their time is wasted. If the student is patient with themselves, progress is guaranteed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BA in Music, Magna Cum Laude.
How did you get started teaching?
I was recommended by several professors in college to help out fellow classmates struggling with theory. I have also given guitar lessons to friends throughout the years, so I have a wide range of experience with different learning styles.
What types of students have you worked with?
Children, adults, fast learners, slow learners, those who learn best through theory, those who learn best by ear, those who learn best by visuals, students with clean apartments, students with messy apartments, etc... teaching is enjoyable for me, regardless of the level of the student, as long as they're genuinely interested in learning.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a teacher who has a reputable website, with links to audio of their playing.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Would you rather travel to the teacher, or the teacher travel to you? If you would like to meet first in a public area such as a Starbucks, let the teacher know, they should be happy to accommodate this request.
