Thank you

Thank you for visiting my music instruction webpage. I look forward to learning about music together with you! I offer lessons in guitar and lute at our beautiful Outer Banks locations in Kill Devil Hills and. All ages and levels of serious music student are welcome.

My philosophy

In my work as a concert musician and music educator, I teach about the aesthetic tools of rhythm, color and composition to audiences and private students alike. In my work as a nationally-recognized photography professional, I taught about lighting and composition in environmental portraiture. For me, such tools are the essence of both music and photography.

Some background

I have been fortunate to perform on the concert stage throughout the US, Spain, Portugal and South America. I also was privileged to serve for four years in the North Carolina Visiting Artist program. I look forward to bringing my experience to our musical exploration. Click to read my full profile.

Teaching availability

I teach by appointment online, and in-person in our Kill Devil Hills studio. 252-207-3868.
