I’ve been teaching students age 6-76 for the past fifteen years and over those years I’ve developed lesson plans that are student centered. I learn my students strengths and weaknesses and customize lessons that will help them reach their goals. So many possibilities exist! I also have experience teaching lessons to students with various academic and developmental challenges including learning disabilities and mental health issues. Music lessons can be an amazing coping skill with the right learning plan and attitude. I also now offer drum lesson videos on Patreon. More on that on the final tab of my website 

September - May (School Season Lessons)

560 $ covers 9 months of lessons : No refunds for missed lessons- 28-36 lessons offered depending on personal vacation and sick days- I rarely miss!!

3 Payment options

One Student - One 30 min lesson per week 

1 upfront payment  560 $  due September 

2 payments - 280 $ First Payment due September- Second Payment 280 $ due January 

4 Payments- 140 $ First Payment due September- 2nd payment due November- 3rd payment due January- 4th payment due March 1st

Students who expect to opt out of lessons or randomly opt out must let me know in advance and must finish paying for 30-60 days after final lesson. (The student doesn’t need to keep showing up) After school lesson times are valuable and I turn people away often as my schedule fills fast. It takes me considerable time and effort to fill spots. I lose money when students quit during school season lessons.

Students added past September will receive a custom quote but very similar to the above arrangement

Summer Lessons 2026 will begin June 9th and 10th 

Final Lessons August 18th and 19th

Guitar, Bass, Classical Piano, Drums and Recording Lessons Available 

NEW FOR 2026! Work on recording every week and receive multiple MP3 Audio files of the students work.

All Students will receive one 30 minute lesson per week. Students may opt to schedule 1 hour sessions but will not receive a discount for this. 

Available Tuesdays and Wednesdays all summer

I will receive up to two sick/personal days before any refunds from me will be issued. I don’t expect to miss more than 1 lesson, but can’t guarantee perfect health. I rarely miss!! 

First lesson of the day will be 10:30 - Final lesson will be 5:00-5:30

Two lesson plans available

1. Recording Performance and Introduction to Recording Performance- All Instruments- 1/2 hour weekly sessions- ONE NONE REFUNDABLE UPFRONT PAYMENT DUE IN JUNE- $275

2. Standard 1/2 hour lessons, once per week for all instruments-ONE NON REFUNDABLE UPFRONT PAYMENT DUE IN JUNE-$225

NO REFUNDS FOR MISSED LESSONS 

NO REFUNDS FOR QUITTING LESSONS AT ANYTIME-

(When students quit and have taken a scheduled spot, I lose money as families choose other activities and I can’t fill scheduled spots late in the season)

I personally believe that recording focused lessons for students are the fastest way to improve. Listening to yourself play on a weekly basis is a non biased review and is typically a shock! It can be discouraging but with the right guidance and encouragement, recording and critically evaluating each recording improves playing quickly and serves as an incredible teacher and source of inspiration.

Students who book 1 hour sessions may choose 1/2 of recording performance focus and 1/2 hour standard. 225+275=500 $

Students may choose 1 hour of regular lessons

225+225=450 

1 hour of recording performance will be 275+275=550 for the entire summer
