30-minute a week practice to 3 hours a day...
I started playing the guitar at the age of six. Whenever pressed for my future aspirations I'd say,
“I am going to be a rockstar.”
Music has always been the driving force of my life, the kettle boiling in the back of my mind. However, childhood presented me with a contradiction — I didn’t like to practice.
As much as I wanted to be a globe-trotting troubadour, putting in the work required often felt tedious and discouraging. This all changed a balmy Las Vegas afternoon when my middle school classroom guitar teacher taught the class about improvisation.
After that lesson, music took on an entirely new meaning for me. Rather than funneling my self-expression through the rock idols of yesteryear, I suddenly had the means to truly express my own musicality.
In the following months, I transitioned from practicing half-an-hour a week to over three hours a day. That one pivotal lesson changed my perception of music forever and has led me to a wonderful and fulfilling career.
I believe that in every person resides a student just like my younger self, waiting to be enlightened to all the possibilities that music holds for them. It is my goal to help every one of my students find their own inspiration and exceed their musical potential.
I believe that music holds something in it for everyone. Many choose to admire from afar, but getting your hands dirty and missing a few notes can often lead you places you never even knew existed.
Music is ultimately a means of personal expression, and I see it as my duty to lead students to the skills that will help them express themselves in the most meaningful way possible.
