About

About

As a guitar teacher, I rely on a depth of experience shaped by years of performing, teaching, and working in diverse professional environments—from classrooms to cruise ships to military ensembles. I feel that this background has not only strengthened my musicianship, but also provides a uniquely versatile teaching style that resonates with students of all ages, abilities, and learning preferences. I feel that my journey as a school teacher, a cruise-ship guitarist, and a musician in The British Army informs every lesson I teach with a wealth of real-world insight.
