Learn Music Here!
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never touched an instrument or if you’ve been playing for years, I will help you get to the next step of your Musical journey. No student is too young or old, no dream is too bold. You CAN achieve your musical ambitions, just like so many before you. I believe in your potential and passion already, or you wouldn’t be reading this website- don’t wait any longer to get some help with your Music! My lessons are about more than just learning technique, timing, and tuning- listening is at the center of everything I teach. I will listen to you and we will listen to Music- the Music teaches most of the lessons. I care about my students. Your progress and your spirit are important to me. I offer individual and group lessons on instruments, composition, engineering, production, Music theory, improvisation, rehearsal techniques, and listening. I prefer to teach hour-long lessons, my rate is $50. I also offer a free community lesson every Thursday night from 7-9, all are welcome.
