Music making and sharing the love of music through teaching is one of my favorite things in life to do. I’m always curious to learn what my students’ goals are. Then my goal is to provide inspiring repertoire while teaching the fundamentals of theory, technique, ear training and reading. Whether it’s rock or classical music the journey is the same. Playing, keeping the fundamentals working, having fun, being creative, and loving what you’re doing.
