I am a qualified and professional music teacher with 20+ years of high-level experience and a zest for sharing my passion for all things musical. I hold a strong belief that music can change lives for the better. I seek to equip students with the performance, composition and theoretical skills that will see them excel no matter which path they take in music. An engaged and determined teacher, I thrive teaching both one-on-one and in group scenarios.

Perform at a variety of venues and festivals including The Original Ann Arbor Art Fair, Detroit Jazz Fest and a two-time representative for the blues competition in Memphis, TN withThe Chris Canas Band.
