I am passionate about teaching students of all ages and conducting my lessons in fun and energetic ways while focusing on understanding of core concepts. My extensive and varied teaching experience has trained me to be comfortable teaching guitar and music in many different styles in a variety of learning environments including online and in-person (one on one classes or in larger group settings with many students). As a long time teacher I get five star feedback from parents and have excellent rapport with all my students. An educator with excellent communication skills and great patience, my goal is to work consistently and creatively with students to ensure strong engagement in the classroom (virtual or physical) and reinforce the learning of fundamental techniques and concepts of guitar playing and making music!
