Teaching Statement
Learning only comes from doing. The student improves best when learning on their own terms, and their musical interests and artistic influences should be incorporated into every session so as to hone their passion as well as their craft. Moreover, the student should not only learn the 'hows' and 'whats' of guitar, but the why as well. An understanding of the reasoning behind all musical education is vital to becoming a versatile and creative musician.

Biography
I began playing guitar 12 years ago and have been teaching for 5 of them. My musical interests range from rock to pop to jazz. I have played in several bands, taught music at several summer camps and have even spent time as a stand-up musical comedian. I have experience with students of all ages and levels of skill, and employ a hands-on style of teaching that incorporates applicable theory while also focusing on song-learning and improvisation.
