Distanced Learning 

There is so much we can learn while using the internet as a way to connect with other people. I've been teaching music for more than half my life and I love crafting individual plans for each student or group and getting creative in helping everyone achieve their unique goals. During distanced learning I draw on many concepts I've gained from: getting a bachelor's and masters degree in music education, teaching both elementary general music and early strings education in classrooms for years, performing around the country with Bumper Jacksons and Charm City Junction while running educational workshops, and all of my time running community jams in Baltimore. Learning online via Zoom, Skype, FaceTime or other video conferencing apps is different than being in person, but there are so many ways we can connect and create using these wonderful platforms. 

I enjoy teaching one-on-one with adults and children as well as educating groups of musicians. Music is a unique and special thing about the human existence and I love getting to share my knowledge with others and open up the world of music. Having lessons or group classes on a weekly or bi-weekly is a wonderful thing that can bring some structure into your life during this wildly unprecedented time. I teach upright bass, clawhammer banjo, bluegrass guitar, beginning violin/fiddle, cello, and harmonica lessons from my home studio. Please contact me if you would like to set up a learning plan for you, your students, or members of your community.
