I help everyday people have an extraordinarily good time making music
I've been teaching guitar in the Seattle, WA area since 2003, and I currently live in Redmond, WA. I specialize in teaching shy singers, beginners and intermediate players of all ages, and young children, some as young as 4 years old.
I've discovered that what most music students need to foster a lifelong love of making music is to give them fun experiences on stage. So twice a year my students perform in a rowdy student recital called The Jam.
Once my students make legitimately good music on stage for a cheering audience, they get why the hard work practicing music is worth it.
