• Philosophy: I try to keep lessons fun and exciting. Whether you are brand new to the guitar/bass or have been playing for a while, your ultimate goal is to enjoy playing your instrument. In over 15 years of teaching I have found that the best way to enjoy playing music (and also enjoy teaching it) is by playing with others. The #1 goal is to turn on the drum machine and trade off playing rhythm & lead guitar with my students. Whether it’s strumming the chords to Mary Had a Little Lamb, playing the melody to Jingle Bells or hammering out the solo to Hotel California it is a great experience when the student finally gets it and we lock in and start rockin’ together.

• A musical quote... Music is such a powerful form of expression which defines moments in everyone’s life. It is exciting to give the gift of music and share a passion with my students.
