I began studying guitar in 1987 at a home studio in Maple Valley. After I completed my lessons, I continued my studies in various music genres and instruments. Some of the instruments I play are: guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo, piano, drums , fiddle and pedal steel.

I opened my doors as Kale's Private Music Instruction in 2003 at the Music Trader in Maple Valley, WA.

I focus on the music that each student relates to. This gives my students a chance to learn and express themselves in a way they will retain.

With this in mind, my students have gone on to local and regional talent contests.
