Lessons

There are many guitar and piano teachers offering lessons in Austin.   I think what sets me apart is that not only was I a touring professional (several years of international touring and recording) but I am also a trained and successful teacher - and I love teaching! I really pride myself on my ability to teach people to be confident and competent musicians. I have a Master's degree in Music and Human Learning and am certified to teach music in Texas public schools. I also teach pedal steel, banjo, and mandolin.

My approach has proven to be very successful. One of my students took lessons from another teacher in Austin for a year, and he told me that he learned more from me in one lesson than he did in a year with his other teacher.  Another former student now performs regularly at premier venues such as the Cactus Cafe and Antone's.  I helped prepare one of my piano students for college auditions and he was accepted into the UT-Austin Butler School of Music.   Recently, a long-time guitar and songwriting student won first prize in three categories at the Austin Songwriter's Group contest.  I have many other student and parent references available on request.

All lessons are taught from my home studio near the scenic Bull Creek greenbelt in NW Hills . My home studio (pictured below) was built in 2011 with the specific intent of providing a comfortable place to teach music.
