Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Harmonica

Over the years I had musical mentors share knowledge with me, so it is so rewarding to share knowledge with students. I love it when students get "light bulbs", or "a-ha" moments. Because I tailor lessons to the students' individual goals, I love to show them things that are practical and help them achieve those goals. My teaching style is very personal and conversational, as opposed to formal and "classroom-like". Read More

I want to get my students playing at the level they want to as quickly as possible. In order to do this I teach them according to what they want to learn, while pushing them to play faster and learn more. If a student wishes to learn a particular song, I am always willing to learn it and teach it to them. I believe that one of the most important things about playing music is to have fun. Read More

Aside from finding a student's learning style, my teaching method centers around creating goals that break down barriers. Most barriers are something other than a student's ability to learn. Music is a hard-learned skill, and it's all too often that many students face the hard reality of not becoming the next legend as soon as they pick up their first instrument. In creating a system of achievable goals for the student, I'm able to push the student away from the negative outlook that comes with the inherent difficulty in maneuvering through the nuances of learning.

As a musician, it is very important to understand the perspective of all instruments and how they work together. The better that one understands this connection, the more profound their contribution will be when playing with others. As a teacher, my goal is to assist each student in finding their own creative voice and guide them through the process of learning to express themselves through music. In addition to learning the guitar, I encourage my students to listen carefully and take notice to all the accompanying instruments in the music that they enjoy listening to. Read More

I believe in the philosophy of and empty cup. My lessons are not built for me to tell the student what to do, but rather learn how they learn and research the best practices for reaching that student. There is no "cookie cutter" method that works for all students, because everyone learns and comprehends a little bit differently. I remain sensitive to that and patient with my students. It always gets me when a student that is stuck on a part of their music finally understands and performs the passage perfectly. Read More
