A Bit About Me
I have always had a passion for music! I have been playing guitar since high school, been singing since university, and I still play and sing today! And I also love to teach my students everything I know.
I love teaching virtually with my current school, but I would love to also teach music to my community as well. Music is an art that should be shared and enjoyed with as many people as we can in our lives.
I hope to hear from you soon!

Previous Work Experience
Kingston's Music Academy
Pianos Plus
Tauber Music
While I was at Queen's, I taught students a a local Francophone school. I still remember the awesome recitals they put on. A great first job in the field!
This was a very busy school and I really enjoyed weekends here. Even when I moved back to Toronto I would still trek back to Mississauga for the job. I only left because I movedaway for my wife's schooling.
I loved that they had a guitar workbook series of their own and it had a lot of great content in it! They also introduced me to the Registry of Guitar Tutors and I have been a member ever since. They treated their teachers well and I hope they are still going strong.
