Learn from Great Beginner Guitar for Kids Teachers

I am an experienced educator and music director with over a decade of teaching and leadership experience in both academic and performance settings. I have taught Music, English, and Values Education at the middle and high school levels and have extensive experience training children, teens, and college students in choir and instrumental performance.

My goal is to inspire creativity, and a love for playing. I began playing the guitar at age 13. Classic rock bands such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and the Beatles, as well as blues guitarists Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton, are my early musical influences. My love for music really bloomed when I started writing songs, and performing in bands in High School and College.

I am a lifelong musician providing trumpet and guitar lessons to beginner and intermediate students—adult learners welcome! I played trumpet throughout middle school and high school as first chair, taking private lessons for much of that time. As an adult, I have played in the Chapel Orchestra for Southern Seminary (where I earned both master's and doctorate degrees in ministry).

I have been playing guitar for 47 years and teaching for more than 40 years. My passion for music began at an early age while growing up in Terre Haute, Indiana. In 1980, I began studying guitar at The Conservatory of Music in my hometown, where I trained for four years before returning in 1986 as a guitar instructor at the very same studio where I had once been a student.

I teach piano, guitar, bass, songwriting, and music production for kids, adults, beginners, and returning musicians. I earned a BA in Open Music Studies from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in May 2020, and I bring 23 years of piano experience, 14 years of guitar experience, and 10 years of songwriting, recording, and production work into my lessons.
