A Bit About Me
​​
I have been a musician for more than 20 years, and a teacher for more than a decade. In that time, I’ve discovered a lot about what it takes to learn music effectively. Music is without a doubt my life’s calling, and an essential part of this calling is sharing what I’ve learned with other musicians.
​
I offer lessons for guitarists, vocalists, and songwriters, and coaching for all musicians. My intention is to provide you with the guidance, material, tools, strategies, understanding, and encouragement you need so you can be the musician you want to be, make the music you most want to make, and have the very best experience with music you can.​​​

Lessons​
​​
Lessons are for guitarists, vocalists, and songwriters who are interested in building a strong musical foundation and developing their unique artistic voice.
​
I will simplify the music learning and making process for you so you will be able to focus your valuable time and energy on what matters most to your musical development.
​
All lesson material is personalized—created specifically for you based on your interests, experience, challenges, and goals.
Here is a general idea of some topics we can cover:
-
What to do to develop proper technique
-
How to approach building musicianship skills (theory, ear training, time feel, listening, reading music, etc.)
-
How to learn songs
-
How to develop your unique artistic voice
-
How to write and produce songs
​​
Coaching​
​
Coaching is intended for any musician who wants to improve their relationship with music by making it healthier, more sustainable, and more satisfying.
Using principles from the worlds of psychology, philosophy, self-development, and beyond—as well as my own ideas and concepts—I will help you build the habits, mindset, and systems you need to build your ideal musical life.
Coaching is highly personalized for each individual, but some general topics we can cover are:
-
How to build a sustainable and consistent music habit
-
How to build an unshakeable mindset that will allow you to flourish as a musician and artist
-
The practice principles and strategies that will ensure you get the most out of your practice time
-
How to organize your music material to reduce overwhelm and save you time and mental energy
-
How to make and manage your time so there's more room for music in your life

​
While I am happy to work with musicians at any point along their musical journey, spaces are limited, so I am selective about who I will take on as a student or client.
​
In general, I am interested in working with musicians who are:
​
-
Serious about improving their musical ability and experience
-
Open-minded and curious
-
Willing to do the work and be challenged
