In His Own Words

“My goal as a teacher is to inspire, instill discipline, help you reach your fullest potential and become the best musician you envision yourself to be. With 18+ years of teaching experience, i’m not here to ‘wow’ you with technical terms, but rather decode music theory in a practical and understandable way that even the youngest of my students can enjoy. I live for the ‘A-HA!’ and lightbulb moments when students grasp these concepts on guitar just as i first did, which unlocked a world of endless possibilities. I have dedicated my life to music and guitar, if you entrust me with your musical training there is no obstacle we can’t overcome. I guarantee you, these are the lessons you have been searching for.“
