Learning to play and sing should be FUN! You will learn a lot and have a good time doing it. We are on this journey together and I will be here for you every step of the way. You will find me very upbeat, encouraging and knowledgable. I have been teaching music in various ways since the late 1980's. Yes... I'm old. LOL! Over the years of working with so many different types of students, I have learned that every one has different goals. Maybe you just want to be able to play and/or sing your favorite songs. Maybe you have dreams of performing on stages or even becoming a music teacher yourself. With my years of experience I can help anyone
