GTRx - Play your favorite songs!

Saxophone is where it all started in 5th grade! Picking up the guitar at age 15, I began leading church worship services shortly after. I discovered a gift for songwriting and have a number of songs published and performed in churches around the world. I began teaching guitar and other fretted instruments, along with sax, in the 90s and I’m thrilled to help students achieve their musical goals. And I still love the opportunity to be a singing storyteller whenever and wherever someone provides a stage! On most Sundays I can be found leading praise and worship at my local church in the Charlotte NC area.

5 Reasons For Online Music Lessons The pandemic was a game changer for music teachers. Before 2020 we believed in-person was the only way. Suddenly one hundred percent was online! For nearly 2 years. Today, fully 1/3 of my students are online, from coast-to-coast in 4 time zones. It works great! Here’s 5 reasons why nothing stands in your way to start your musical pursuit: 1. Virtual lessons are so easy to do. With a click you’re instantly face to face for a customized one-on-one session. 2. Learning in your home environment sets you at ease. It’s natural to feel intimidated while being taught by someone you consider to be a professional. Sitting in your favorite spot in a peaceful home atmosphere helps relieve some of that anxiety. 3. Minimal set up and minimal “stuff” needed. Your instrument, an internet connected computer (or cell phone!) and a chair. That’s pretty much it. I will provide the written AND video support for every single thing we cover, even assignment updates! 4. Your personalized video library is always accessible. Right at your fingertips, 24/7, this virtual library is a great asset in your musical journey! 5. NO DRIVE TIME OR GAS EXPENSE! Learning an instrument can provide a lifetime of enjoyment for you and your whole family. I’m ready to help you get started today!

I’ve contributed to numerous album projects through the years and recently completed a country album with my long-time student lyricist/guitarist Roland Macher. Find him on Apple Music and Spotify. Currently writing/producing a legacy album project for a local client, and working with a Texas sports gear company on branding their products with musical jingles/soundtracks for online promo videos.

Being a good player does not necessarily make a good teacher. I am a professional (working) artist with a proven track record of helping students achieve their goals and desires in music.
