Teaching + Mentorship
Through my work as an educator, I strive to foster equitable spaces for community and collaboration. My engagements span over a decade of private guitar, theory, and composition teaching; distance and outreach learning; adjudicating; university-level theory, ear-training, and electronic music positions; and frequently guest lecturing at festivals, workshops, and academic courses. Focusing on transparent and open communication among students, I provide them with support, guidance, and relevant skills to pursue their own interests or goals.
See below for recent and upcoming teaching engagements:
GLFCAM – The Electric Guitar & New Music
An overview of the electric guitar within the world of contemporary classical music, led by composer-electric guitarist Andrew Noseworthy. This course will examine different approaches to composing for the instrument in solo, chamber and symphonic/large ensemble settings; while highlighting different stylistic, technological, notational, practical and collaborative approaches. articipants will gain an understanding of writing for the instrument and working with other electric guitarists through the study of existing representative works for the genre, as well as a brief exploration of Andrew's past collaborations with the instrument.

“I learned that for students who believe they had no relationship to [course] material, or no space within it, that making that space for them to feel engaged was the way to move forward when teaching the material.”
