The ukulele/tenor guitar are friendly, approachable instruments, and a great tool for:

- brain function support
-confidence building
-hand-eye coordination

My teaching philosophy:

I love teaching, especially “late bloomers” or those new to music exploration.
I was one, starting music in my late 30's.
My goal for you is to have FUN while gaining new skills.

We'll focus on tuning, chord reading, playing basics, position (form), 
strumming and plucking, reading tablature, finding your rhythm and so much more.
I welcome students to bring songs they want to learn. 

Also offering songwriting and vocal support.
