Review About Me
I have been playing and studying music for over 20 years. During that time, I have written for and performed with many professional groups in a wide variety of genres. I begin teaching music lessons at the age of 16 and have continually worked to become a more effective and equitable educator since then. I am currently pursuing a doctorate in composition at the University of Memphis, where I also teach undergraduate music courses.

What to expect in my Guitar Lessons
Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced
We begin by learning about your musical interests and goals with the instrument. We then do a brief assessment to determine where the student is in meeting those goals. From there, lessons are tailored to each student’s goals and needs. I try to always keep lessons engaging and fun!
What to expect in my Record Engineer Produce
Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced
We start by exploring student’s musical goals and interest. We will then assess the students current level of ability and knowledge with recording and producing. Students are given small recording projects as assignments that allow them to work through the process of recording and producing music. Students will need to have either a desktop or laptop, computer equipped with a digital audio workstation (DAW) such as logic, GarageBand (free) or ProTools.
What to expect in my Orchestral Lessons
Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced
We begin by learning about your musical interests and goals. We then do a brief assessment to determine where the student is in meeting those goals. From there, lessons are tailored to each student’s goals and needs. Students are given small composition exercises as assignments. These help to get the pen moving and are eventually transitioned into the student’s own writing. I try to always keep lessons engaging and fun! Students will need to have access to notation software, such as Muse score, Sibelius, Dorico, finale etc
