I have been playing guitar for about eleven years now. I started out playing guitar on my own at 9 years old. I was self taught up until I turned 11,when I took a guitar class at my middle school. During the following years I took more guitar lessons and finished many guitar theory and technique books on my own. I also joined my first chorus class during this period; where I learned how to control my developing voice. I quickly became enthralled with music from that point on. Joining my church youth group band at 11 years old, then joining the adult worship team soon after, I have much experience with performance on stage and the technicalities of music. Within the past two years, I've taken and completed music theory I and II. I currently am accepting guitar pupils 9 and up with the full intent on broadening their horizons and helping them to be excited about music.
