"My Spanish degree was focused on Spanish Education. I taught beginning and intermediate Spanish for 3 years at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, UT. I received an Advanced-High fluency certification from UVU, only missing one grammatical issue for a "Native" rating. I also took a Portuguese for Spanish-Speakers class so I can relate concepts and patterns for those with a Portuguese background. I have used my Spanish in 4 professional/work environments.

I have a minor in Music from Brigham Young University. I have played piano for 34 years and can teach from beginner to advanced, specializing in classical and basic chord/lead sheet theory for players to start branching into jazz.

I have played guitar for 15 years, specializing in beginning and intermediate flat-picking, finger-picking, chord theory, music theory, and fundamentals for improvisation. Styles include a background in folk, bluegrass, and popular rock. I teach tablature as well as how to read actual music on the guitar." less...
