About Me:
I enjoy covering the basics, then getting deeper into the core of learning the instrument. To the beginner or intermediate student, I demonstrate technique of performing, lend tips on how to correct mistakes, and show how to further their experience while developing his or her own style. To the advanced student, I work to fine-tune, enhance, and polish up their skills. I'm flexible, laid back in my approach, and always passionate about helping those who need it. The best advice I give is "you get out of what you put into it." Thus, I do my best to give my students the key to open doors of musical knowledge.
