Why trust me to teach you about music?
I believe that learning music is more than mere imitation and repetition. Musicians need to grow and develop in an organic and inquisitive way, reaching beyond simple mechanics.

The concepts and choices behind the music are powerful and helpful in learning how to play any instrument. What makes certain songs sound so good? How are they written in a way that is both logical and magical? What key are they in? What scale is the best choice for a solo?

Questions like these, and the answers behind them, are just one facet of my teaching philosophy and method. We’ll build a solid foundation with flexible, customizable lesson plans, and my 30 years of experience as a multi-instrumentalist will give your musicianship and creativity both the space and support it needs to grow.
