About
I help kids to fall in love with music! My lessons have been described as "fun, not stuffy", and I adapt quickly to the unique personality and goals of each student. I do this through engaging Zoom lessons where we use songs the student loves to explore music fundamentals.
Starting September 15th, 2024, I'll be starting a NEW group of young guitarists in my EPIC online group guitar program on Zoom. This program is VERY FUN, and is my most affordable option at just $144 / month for five 45 minute classes per month ($28 / class). Students can choose between a Wednesday at 6:30 PM EST class, and a Saturday at 11:30 AM class. You can see the full details for that course here:

If you're interested in that, call me soon!
I also continue to teach 1-1 private lessons over Zoom, and in my studio in Summerville, SC. I'm nearly fully booked, but have space for 1 or 2 more students in my private lesson schedule during daytime hours, and possibly afterschool hours.
My rates for private lessons are:
$60 / 30 minute 1-on-1 class
$90 / 45 minute
$120 / 60 minute
My goal is to help my students to become well-rounded, creative, and passionate musicians, whether it is building the confidence to perform at a talent show, writing their own songs, learning to sing as they play, or mastering the songs of their favorite artists.
I am in EST (Eastern Time, USA), but I teach students all over the world. I usually teach 1-1, but I also have experience teaching groups, especially in home-school settings.
Contact me to book a free 15 minute call to discuss your student's interests, and see if we'd be a good fit for lessons!
