About
I'm a classically trained acoustic guitarist with over 900 hours of teaching experience. I've taught many beginners, young and old, and helped them learn the basics that served as the foundation for more advance techniques. I'm always passionate about teaching new skills to my students and seeing their reactions to their progress and hard work! My job is to get my students to become such adaptive guitar players that they don't need me anymore! Ready to start your music journey? Send me a message and let's get playing!

How did you get started teaching?
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with many types of students from children to the elderly. Each of them had their own strengths and weaknesses and it was my job to help them maximize their progress. Some were quick learners while others needed more time and patience. For the prior, I always challenged them to find out where their limits are and then push them. For the latter, I always took my time with them and made sure they understood everything they needed to before moving on.
