Private lessons
I focus on a blend of technique, theory, and new material to bring together all aspects of well-rounded musicianship. The fundamentals of timing, tone, phrasing, and feel are essential for musicians of all levels. For those who are new and don’t know where to start, or for those who are experienced and looking for new ideas. Lessons are $75 per hour available remotely through Zoom or in-person in Hillsborough, NC.
