I teach guitar, and piano to students seven and up of all experience levels. Many of my students come from schools and neighborhoods around Sandy Springs, an area I’ve grown up in and know well. 

My lessons are casual and practical, helping players truly understand their instrument while learning the music they love.

I am an experienced guitarist and pianist with a diverse performance and teaching background. My teaching is informed by real-world, professional experience, focusing on practical musicianship. 

During seven years of teaching, I’ve taught both privately / on contract and currently teach at School of Rock's Buckhead location.

My lessons are relaxed and straightforward. No busywork, no memorizing flashcards. I want my students to understand how their instrument works and actually be able to play the music they resonate with.

I can read sheet music but also teach by ear, and I have basic skills on drums and bass that I use to enhance lessons. I work with students of all ages, including many with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and/or autism.

I’m MTNA-certified and have completed Mandated Reporter training, ensuring that my teaching meets professional standards and prioritizes child safety. 

I create a secure, supportive space where students can explore music comfortably. My teaching is grounded in an awareness of students’ mental and emotional needs.
