I received a degree in Education with an emphasis on Music at UT at Austin. Furthermore, I worked as a music teacher at an NISD campus, which had a tremendously positive impact on me as a music educator. I am self taught on both guitar and piano. I know the fundamentals of music theory. However, as a player and instructor I focus on feeling and passion not technique or notes. Feeling is what drives the burning passion for a student who just has to know how to get an instrument to sing for him or her. I'm a huge fan of blues, jazz, folk, rock, and other genres as well. The blues, specifically SRV is my biggest hero and influence. A passion for music can literally save a person's life.
