About
I have both experience and licensure to teach music. My range of muscial theory and methologies include both note and rote as well as ear training. I have additional expertise working with those who have special needs. My musical preferences include but are not limited to R&B, Hip Hop, Jazz and gospel. A few of my favorite artists John P Kee, Kirk Franklin and Snarky Puppy.
I love teaching rudiments, the basics of playing and reading. I love it when I see a student bloom and blossom once they have the basics down.
