About
I am passionate about helping others clearly define their goals and help them accomplish them! I have been playing guitar for 15 years and have knowledge that I would love to share with anyone who wants to learn!
Previous experience includes lessons focusing on beginner to intermediate players but can help anybody take their next step.
My experience playing has been mostly in church style music but I also played in numerous bands over the years in many different genres.
My favorite part of teaching is when I see an idea, concept, or skill finally click with a student and they "get it". These are the greatest moments and ones I look forward to when teaching!
I also really enjoy seeing the continued growth of a student who really wants to get better. The more motivated the student is, the more I can help them accomplish their goals and become the player they want to be!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first thing I like to do is get to know who I will be teaching. I want to find out what music they like, what their past experience is, and what they want to learn. Once we define this we set out to create a plan of action! We will create goals that are attainable as well as stretching. I will provide the necessary material to help them accomplish these goals.
I will always be paying attention to what the student is learning and what weak areas may be present or arising. We will make adjustments along the way to continue the progress!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I spent the last 5 years working at a church. One of my responsibilities was to assess where our volunteer musicians were at in their skill level and help them take the necessary steps to grow in their musicianship.
I have worked with guitar players, bassists, drummers, and vocalists.
