I aim to empower guitarists of all abilities to make the best music they can.​​ The guitar is central to a vast variety of musical styles and traditions, and I want to help each student learn the music s/he's most interested in playing. With that object in mind, my lessons emphasize fundamentals of technique and musicianship: establishing a strong right & left hand technique, honing music-reading and ensemble-playing skills, gaining familiarity with music theory as it relates to the music at hand, and working on interpretation and overall musicality. Each student will necessarily follow a different course of study based on their needs, goals, interests, and abilities.

My students include: children, ages 5 and up; teens; undergraduate and graduate students; and adults of all ages.

I welcome: beginners; intermediate players looking for guidance and direction; and advanced or professional players seeking to broaden and deepen their music-making.
​
​My students play: nylon-string classical guitar, electric guitar, and steel-string acoustic guitar.
