My philosophy
In my teaching I aim to provide a well rounded musical education that can serve as a foundation for a lifetime of learning, playing, and enjoying music. Whether you are an absolute beginner or someone who wants to dive deeper into a particular style, I am happy to help guide you in your own personal musical journey.
I specialize in a range of musical styles including bluegrass, old-time, classic country, folk, blues, Celtic, Gypsy jazz, and Western swing. I also come from a background in the Suzuki method and have performed in orchestras and smaller chamber ensembles, although classical music is not my primary focus today.
Some of the things I offer in my lessons include:
Learning by ear
Understanding harmony and chord progressions
Technique
Fiddle tunes
Improvising
Learning musical vocabulary
