Initially I began with metal influences, but shortly after branched our into anything from acoustic fingerpicking to experimental rock. Being self taught, I am able to connect with my students in a more real and understandable way than just mindlessly handing scales to practice. I began teaching when I was still at an intermediate level and still experienced success with others, but now feel like nothing is too big of a challenge as far as teaching goes. I am very easygoing and communicative with my students to ensure that they achieve THEIR goals. I hope to hearing from you soon! -Education- Degree: Business Marketing School: Texas State Dates: 2017-08

Music entered my life when I was twelve, and it has become an obsession ever since. When I was fourteen I began a routine of practicing guitar for 9 hours a day for 4 years. I followed the same principle when I began piano, I have now slowed down to 2 hours a day of each.

I have a wide taste in music and love sharing musical tastes and ideas with other musicians and people. Formal Education: In high school I was involved in the school choir and musicals. I was bass sections leader my junior year and section leader of all the men my senior year. These titles were accompanied by my lead roles in the school musicals and a choir presidency my senior year.

Private Education: I attended Dallas Baptist University my freshman year and excelled in my musical studies, I tested out of 5+ music courses before beginning to attend the school. These courses included Aural Skills, Music Theories, Piano Skills, and Piano Proficiency 1-5. By the time my freshman year was through I had reached the level of Junior within music courses, and had begun tutoring full time within the music lab, and private lessons. I am relocating back to Austin because after nearly a year away I realized that Austin was my home and it was where I wanted to pursue my musical education and career. Performing Experience: I'm involved in a church in which I have played guitar or piano every Sunday for the past 6 years (omitting my time away in Dallas), I also have experience in rock and folk venues. I have played at Antones and Emo's as a bass player and very small venues as a solo artist as well. I have been playing guitar and bass for nearly 7 years, and piano for 3 years. Experience Teaching: At Dallas Baptist University I was the main tutor for Music Theory and so I have a strong understanding of the functionality of music itself and I have learned to teach and communicate musical ideas to many different levels of learning.
