Interested in learning?
As a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, I teach a combination of performance and musicianship. Playing multiple instruments, I have over thirty-five years of professional musical experience, performing all over the world. I’m excited to share my passion and deep knowledge of music with committed and talented students.

Study Music and Collaborate

Experience my unique guitar program:

As a multi-instrumentalist, I sometimes enjoy taking a break from performing and teaching trumpet, and often switch to teaching classical and jazz guitar.

My focus is not winning competitions through speed or flashy technique but rather connecting to the soul through music.
