Music theory
I believe everyone has a natural ability for music, and my hope is to make lessons enjoyable, engaging, and meaningful. Learning music is about more than playing an instrument, it’s an opportunity to grow personally, discover how you learn, and develop focus and dedication. I aim to support students in expressing themselves and finding joy in making music.
My goal is to help students discover their own learning style and teach in ways that support both their music and skills they can use in life. My lessons build a strong foundation rooted in music theory while encouraging creativity through exploration and song selection. Each lesson is shaped around the student’s goals and interests.
I’ve been teaching for over a decade, have a BA in Music, and perform regularly. Along the way, I’ve learned from many other teachers, shadowing them during my senior thesis and continuing to explore new approaches, so I can bring ideas that work best for each student.
Whether just starting out or looking to grow as a musician, lessons are designed to help students develop their skills, confidence, and love of music in a way that’s challenging, creative, and enjoyable.
LESSON OPTIONS
I offer several options to make lessons work for different schedules, ages, and goals.
FULL SEMESTER PACKAGES
For kids and adults
Full-semester packages run alongside the fall and spring school semesters:
Fall: September 21-December 18 (no lessons the week of Thanksgiving)
Spring: January–May (exact dates TBD)
Students who commit to a full semester tend to see the most progress. Music benefits from consistency, and weekly lessons give students the opportunity to steadily build skills and develop their musical interests over time.
PUNCH PASS - Adults only
If a weekly commitment isn't the right fit, adults can choose a 4, 6, or 8 lesson punch pass.
This option offers more flexibility while still providing a structured way to continue learning.
Ways to Make Lessons More Affordable
There are a few ways to make music lessons more accessible:
Share a lesson with a friend or family member.
Learn alongside your child and make music together.
Create a small group with friends who want to explore songwriting, ukulele, jamming, or another shared musical interest.
PAYS TO PLAY : A program through Jazz Aspen Snowmass that covers three music lessons for kids
PALS Program : A program through the Aspen Music Festival that covers five lessons during the summer for kids
Missed Lessons & Makeups
I understand that things come up. Semester students receive two makeup lessons, and punch-pass students receive one makeup lesson. Makeup lessons must be completed during the current semester.
If you’re feeling under the weather but still have some energy, Zoom lessons are a great option. I can also create a lesson video for you to use at home.
