I teach guitar, piano, and ukulele to students of all ages, from beginners to experienced players. 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, practical, and student-focused, helping players truly understand their instrument while learning the music they love.

ON STAGE  & IN STUDIO

I am an experienced guitarist and pianist with a diverse performance and teaching background. My work as a guitarist has included everything from classical quartet performances at weddings to electric guitar in rock bands, alongside extensive studio and live work as a hired musician.

I also perform as a keyboardist with the band Pink Teeth and have been teaching for five years. My teaching is informed by real-world professional experience, focusing on practical musicianship.

MY APPROACH

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’ve taught both privately and on contract, and I am currently at School of Rock's Buckhead location. 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.
