About Me:
I am a life long musician with over 40 years of experience as an instrumentalist, performer, and composer. I began my studies at the age of 7 years old. I have performed classical, rock, folk, trance, and world music and I am an accomplished multi-instrumentalist. Music has always been the central focus in my life; it is my passion, my first love, and my saving grace. Throughout the years I have studied with many different talented teachers and have acquired a vast knowledge of the instruments and styles of music that I teach. Teaching is my chance to share the passion, knowledge and enthusiasm that I have for music. I am rewarded every time I have the opportunity to share my knowledge with a new aspiring musician.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you to realize your highest potential in your musical endeavors!
