Bio

 I offer a casual yet methodical learning experience that is based on setting and reaching short-term goals in the most efficient way.  Drawing from traditional classical training and modern teaching methods, I provide my students the opportunity to learn the most efficient instrumental techniques and basic music theory – so that songs can be practiced, memorized and played more easily. I also encourage my students to learn to read music because it’s easy, fun and applies to all instruments.  For students with more ambitious goals (who want to play in a band or audition for music school) we will focus on developing the finer skills required for success as a performer. Public performance opportunities are provided for all students to showcase their hard work! My performance experience includes rock, classical, jazz and ‘world music’ in bands and as a soloist. I am a graduate of UMBC with a B.S. cum laude in Music/Guitar Performance (Classical Guitar) where I studied with Fulbright Scholar Dr. Zane Forshee.  I have had the honor to have studied with Keter Betts (bassist for Ella Fitzgerald), NEA grant recipient Ashton Fletcher, and Dr. Serap Gray (Peabody Conservatory). I have participated in workshops and master classes with Al DiMeola, Steve Morse, Billy Cobham, Zakir Hussain, Ron Pearl, Martha Masters and Jason Vieaux. I believe that music has an important place in the human experience; it is proven to be mentally enhancing, emotionally stimulating and spiritually refreshing!
