My background in music spans an eclectic cross section of genres and influences. Beginning as a violinist at the age of three, I spent many years studying classical elements of music while yearning for the instrument that would enable me to have a unique and authentic voice. Although my classical roots may have aided in my development as a musician, it wasn’t until I purchased my first electric guitar and discovered artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bon Jovi, and Eric Johnson that I felt like I had found my musical home. From marching band to Battle of the Bands and more, I’ve developed an insatiable thirst to explore this beautiful language and grow in my ability to communicate freely in any setting. As an instructor and partner in each student’s journey, it’s my goal to help those who study with me grow into confident, emotive musicians, eliminating barriers and simplifying the hows and whys of each topic.
