I guide my students to learn to play chords, read notes and to effectively learn faster on the guitar. I believe every guitar student should have a good foundation in healthy technique that will only enable them to enjoy the instrument better and play in whichever style they choose to focus on.
I am a graduate of the Masters program in Guitar Performance at the University of Georgia where. during my two-year residence, I taught University students at large and in their Bachelor of Music. I love sharing my passion of the guitar with my students and I will give them the best tools to learn well and effectively.
