As a music instructor, my goal is to inspire students with fun and educational lessons. The song always comes first; exercises like scales and theory only exist to support the song. I value student feedback about lesson materials and instructional styles. Every student's learning style is unique. I will help you find yours and develop it so you an achieve your musical goals.

Note: I do not accept students on Saturdays. My availability for other days may vary so contact me for current information.
