Ronnie was formally trained on the guitar for several years and is adaptable to any preferred playstyle, genre, age, or ability level from beginner to advanced. When not playing in a local group or ensemble, Ronnie enjoys spending time with his family. With over 18 years of experience in music and a Master’s Degree in Education, Ronnie is blessed to get to teach guitar, bass, mandolin, and ukulele at Monroe Music Academy.

Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Coming from a family of musicians, I grew up surrounded by melody and rhythm, and that love of music has shaped my entire life. I have been teaching piano for the past six years and find so much joy in helping students discover their own musical abilities.
With over 20 years of teaching experience in dance, musical theater, and early childhood education, I bring a creative and well-rounded approach to every lesson. My goal is not just to teach technique but to inspire a lifelong love of music. I believe that learning should be fun, encouraging, and tailored to each child’s unique strengths.
Whether I’m introducing a young beginner to their first notes or guiding a more advanced student toward performance readiness, I love watching my students grow in confidence and creativity. For me, teaching music isn’t just a career—it’s a way to share the joy and beauty of art with the next generation
