I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education and have over 15 years of experience teaching guitar, electric bass, and music theory to students of all ages and skill levels. I began teaching private lessons in 2008 and have since worked in both one-on-one and group settings, in person and online. My teaching experience includes working with elementary through adult learners, and I currently serve as the Director of Vocal Music at a public high school, where I teach music full-time.
My instructional approach is student-centered and adaptive—I tailor each lesson to meet the individual goals, learning styles, and pace of my students. I focus on building strong technical fundamentals, encouraging creative expression, and developing musical literacy through ear training, theory, and performance-based learning. Whether a student wants to prepare for auditions, learn to play by ear, or understand the deeper structure of music, I create a personalized path to help them succeed.
In addition to classroom teaching, I’ve taught music in after-school programs, led performance ensembles, and helped students prepare for contests, honor ensembles, and recording opportunities. My lessons are engaging, structured, and always designed to make learning music meaningful and enjoyable.
