About Me:
I like to teach students how to play music they really love and feel connected to. My specialty is jazz but I grew up listening and playing many styles of music so I have insight into many different ways of playing. No matter what style you play there are basic fundamentals that apply to everything. I teach students hand and foot techniques, reading, four limb coordination and transcribing skills. You will listen and play along to records and also learn to play to a metronome.
