ABOUT ME
I am a life long musician with over 25 years of experience as a multi-instrumentalist, performer, recording artist, home recording engineer and songwriter. I have 18 years of experience teaching both in the school system and as a private instructor and workshop leader. Music sharing has always been the central focus in my life. Throughout the years I have performed, recorded and studied with many different talented musicians and teachers who have helped me to develop intimate knowledge of the instruments and styles of music that I teach. Teaching is my chance to share the passion and love I have for music. I am rewarded every time I have the opportunity to share my knowledge with a new student and witness their growth and the positive effect music brings to their life.
