Introduction

*Hello! I teach anywhere remotely via FaceTime/zoom, and am available in person in Austin Texas* I have 17 years experience playing, a music degree, and love to teach as much as I like to play! I specialize in guitar/bass and 5-string banjo. I’ve performed on major US festival stages, and on the radio. I like to learn through music the student is excited about, and tailor the lesson style to each student. As a student of the science of learning, I know how the brain learns most efficiently and how to make skills stick! As an audio engineer, producer, and session musician, I’ve worked and trained in both top tier studios and smaller project spaces, and have a have strong knowledge/experience base in production.

Q&A

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I like to talk on the phone or via FaceTime/zoom to meet, and get an overview of the students past history with music, however small or extensive, and learn what music they love/inspired them to play! This is also a chance to discuss what lessons might look like, what materials would be good to get, and look at scheduling a first lesson.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Associates degree in music performance and technology, years of playing on stage, on the road, and in the studio!

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Over the years I’ve had people see me play and ask if I teach—I started teaching lessons at 15!

What types of customers have you worked with?

I’ve had the pleasure of teach people of all ages and walks of life. 7 years old to 65. Complete beginners, and those coming in with a good deal of skill already!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Find a teacher who feels like a great fit for you, even if that means trying a few to find the right one. Not all great players translate into great teachers, so make sure they can explain things clearly and have a knack for communicating knowledge!
