As well as being a multi-instrumentalist and performer, I have been teaching all ages for a decade now. It is one of the great joys of my life.

As a longtime performer and forever student, I know how detrimental a strict teaching philosophy can be for a student’s development. Instead of following a specific method, I offer a holistic approach, taking pieces from different theories and adapting them to fit each student’s needs. Some lessons will focus on technique and exercises, others will be about songwriting and music theory, and some will simply be us jamming and reminding ourselves why we wanted to learn music in the first place. After each lesson, I also send a short video (or two) recapping what we went over for my students to reference during practice. 

At the beginning of our working together, we will chat about what you or your child's goals are as a student and musician. We will also talk about what styles of music you or your child enjoys and, in our first few lessons, I will begin developing a plan that best suits the person. When students want to learn songs by artists I don’t know, I immerse myself in their discography and mine their songs for pieces that will be exciting, challenging, and lead us towards the student’s “musical dream.” Every month or so I check in with my students, make sure that we are on the right path towards getting them what they want, and adjust accordingly. I am quite receptive to feedback and am flexible in making sure our lessons are working for you.

My students have performed in Broadway National Tours, at venues such as The Green Room 42, and have released their own music with my help. I would love to be a part of you or your child’s musical journey. 

If this sounds like a good fit or you simply have more questions, please contact me so we can schedule a time to chat.
