Get Started

Jam Sessions In Person (Coming Soon)

Students will have the opportunity to play and make music with other students in a group setting. We'll take what we've learned and put it into action and with my guidance you'll learn how to conduct a session with other musicians. This is the fundamentals of working with others if you're interested in playing music in a band setting, whether that's a duo or a full band.  

Music Production

Go from learning the fundamentals of music to having your own demo professionally produced as part of our time together. 
We will work through the steps and skills of songwriting and recording to produce your song. Whether as a solo project, bringing a friend or bandmate(s) to record with, or using me as additional accompaniment to see your vision through. 

Pricing is on a case by case basis depending on your goals. Let's talk about it!

Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
I understand that life happens! To keep things fair for all students and respect everyone's time, we ask that you follow these guidelines:

12-hour notice required — Lessons cancelled or rescheduled with at least 12 hours' notice will not be charged and can be rescheduled at no cost.

Late cancellations — Cancellations made within 12 hours of the scheduled lesson will be charged the full lesson fee.

No-shows — Students who miss a lesson without any notice will be charged the full fee and the session will not be made up.

Instructor cancellations — If I ever need to cancel on our end, you will never be charged, and I'll do our best to offer an alternative time or a makeup lesson as soon as possible.

Illness/Emergency exceptions — I'm happy to switch a same-day in-person lesson to an online session if you're not feeling well, so you don't lose your slot or your progress.
