All skill levels are welcome!  If you are a beginner with no experience, or you've been playing for 20 years but need help getting over your plateau, I can help you.  I tailor my lessons to each student's needs,  but I always focus on technique, ear training, practice routines, music theory knowledge and learning new material. And I always keep it fun. Music is fun!

ABOUT

I have 20 years of experience as a professional musician and teacher. My primary instruments are mandolin and guitar. I've spent many years touring and performing on stages large and small. I have a deep knowledge of music theory and experience teaching varying skill levels and ages and love styles like rock, funk, metal, bluegrass and folk. I can also help you with songwriting or music production. I'm a super geek about instruments, amps, pedals & microphones and I've worked in music retail and can help pair you with the instrument that is right for you or build your next pedal board. I'm also a father of two young boys and love working with children.
