    I have been immersed in music all my life. I have enjoyed many opportunities to rehearse and perform with a variety of groups. I had the privilege of studying at the Perpich Center for Arts Education and MCTC as well. I am familiar with bass clef and treble clef. I am knowledgeable in Music Theory, and I can sight-read for cello and bass guitar. My main instruments are bass guitar and guitar. In recent years I have focused on cello and mandolin. Also, I enjoy playing piano and sitar. I can create a lesson plan that will imbue students with the fundamentals of music as well as help you achieve your own personal goals as a musician. Students will be able to understand key concepts such as rhythm and harmony and will develop proper technique. If you want to learn to play an instrument and gain a better understanding of our history and culture, a private lesson is the way. Join me weekly at Guitar Center.
