About
Growing up in Auburndale Florida, I has studied classical guitar for over 10 years earning a Bachelor's and Master's in guitar performance at Florida Southern College and Austin Peay State University. I has over two years experience teaching students proper technique, efficient practice, music theory, improv, classical training, and various other styles such as blues, jazz, rock and acoustic fingerstyle.
I has experience teaching music appreciation courses and enjoys teaching students how to enrich their lives with music. I love to teach students how to learn for themselves and develop practical goals to accomplish their musical interests. I hope to teach through the students' personal musical interests in order to form their own repertoire through their musical and technical development. I hope to teach all students from beginner to advanced levels in all age groups. We can choose a course of study that suites you (reading-based, style-based, etc.). Feel free to contact me at any time with questions about your practice efforts and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Looking forward to our meeting!
