About
I offer private lessons on piano, saxophone, flute, and bass guitar. These lessons can be taken either in person at my home in Nashville, TN or online using the Skype video app.
One of my strong suits as a teacher is being very patient and caring with each student. I always try to find a balance of making each lesson fun, yet challenging.
I can quickly assess a student's skill level and adapt lessons to custum fit their needs, while still making sure they get the must-have basics for musical growth.
I have been teaching ages 6-adult for 13 years.
I have played on stages for thousands of people and played on TV many times.

Music has been the greatest joy in my life. I enjoy getting to share that joy with others and teach them how to replicate the sounds that they already listen to and love.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
My favorite thing so far has been seeing a couple of my students grow up and decide to major in music when they go to college.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I guarantee 30 minutes/1 hour worth of musical growth per week of lessons with me. The other 6 days are up to you. My job is to give you the tools, knowledge and inspiration to practice the other six days of the week.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
1. What tools do I need before taking music lessons?
2. Am I willing to commit daily practice for a period of at least one year to this?
3. What are my musical goals?
4. What inspired me to want to learn to play?
