Hello! As an avid multi-instrumentalist, producer, and songwriter who has been in the music industry for over 10 years, I understand the spark of excitement and nervousness that comes with learning an instrument. After suffering through years of guitar lessons myself before finally finding a love for music with the right teachers, my curriculum ensures that students learn in a completely personalized way that keeps that spark alive while making progress at an encouraging pace. If that sounds like it's right for you, please don't hesitate to reach out!

  • Master your key genres like jazz, rock, pop, and funk
