Saxes 'n Strings Lesson Studio

I've got a degree in Jazz Studies from UNLV, and I've been a touring and performing professional for well over 20 years.

As a saxophonist, I've performed with artists both locally and nationally – including, among many others, Frankie Avalon, Ben Vereen, Bobby Parker, Noel Gallagher & High Flying Birds, and Carlos Santana.

As a guitarist and singer/songwriter, I've released two records, and lead two different roots-rock/country bands.

I teach beginning and intermediate acoustic guitar, and saxophones at all levels, beginner through pro. I teach all ages, from middle school up through adults.

A Few Guitar Topics:

I love helping my students explore music, whether they're a beginner, or an advanced player looking for a different direction!
