I have experience performing and teaching music in a wide range of styles from classical to blues and jazz to bluegrass and folk to pop, rock, and metal. I teach guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, piano, and beginning violin.I am pursuing an M.A. in humanities from Old Dominion University with a concentration in world cultures. This is an interdisciplinary program; my foundations so far have been in cultural studies and international studies, with some history and psychology thrown in.I have about 10 years of experience teaching music lessons and group classes, both in schools and small ensembles through School of Rock and similar programs.
