My Story

Getting Hooked on Music

I discovered music in high school. Playing my drums every day made me feel good and I just wanted to learn more. My interest in music motivated me to study music education so that I could help other kids find a positive outlet, a different form of expression, and passion as I did.  

Classroom Teaching

Teaching music in the Seattle Public Schools opened my eyes to the many ways children learn. I discovered how to adapt my teaching to fit different learning styles and recognized how technology can help engage students. I've been experiementing with better ways of teaching music ever since.

Dynabuddy: A Video-Powered Solution

In 2018 I made some play-along videos for my students and the results were amazing. Students practiced more, had fun, and progressed faster. Inspired by this success of those initial videos, I envisioned a platform like Dynabuddy - a resource filled with innovative online videos that make learning to play music easier and more accessible for everyone.
