I am a strong believer that everyone should be able to enjoy a life full of music. That's what inspired me to become a music teacher. I love performing and recording music, but teaching music and seeing a student grow and succeed with their goals, brings me the greatest joy of all.

Whether you are a beginner, or an advanced student seeking guidance, I have a lifetime of valuable knowledge, skills, and professional experience to guide you on your journey. Just give me a call to learn more, or to schedule a lesson.

Private lessons, and occasionally group classes, are offered from beginning to advanced levels for many different instruments and vocalists. All of my students receive individualized instruction, in either 30 minute or 60 minute sessions. In addition to developing technical and interpretative skills, all students are taught the fundamentals of reading music and music theory. I have a background in both classical and jazz studies, along with musical theatre and a wide variety of popular styles as well. Therefore, each lesson is as unique as each student, and tailored to specific skill levels and personal goals.
