Although I loved classical music, I realized I wanted to work in more of the genres I loved so I started learning guitar and songwriting.

I love music and it’s exciting to help other people find their voice and start creating. I want to keep teaching and hope to pass along my knowledge as others have done to me. If you want a multifaceted tutor who is working in the industry and can help you start your career, I'm your guy!" less...
