I enjoy using popular method books designed to help develop technique at the student's specific level. I also particularly enjoy creating my own exercises that may be more beneficial to a student's specific technique development. Being a bass/rhythm guitarist, I place a lot of value on tempo and rhythm accuracy, and other key elements to being able to play successfully with others. I believe technique development to be of vital importance and approach it on a student by student basis - no two students have exactly the same lesson plan! Read More

I want to make sure that my students are enjoying the lessons and are able to take something away from as many lessons as possible. Keeping their interest is important, therefore I make sure to ask questions to clarify what we would be working on.

I am a firm believer in the idea that not all people learn best in the same way. So I immediately try to understand each student and how they most effectively learn and retain information in the lesson. From there we set realistic goals and then accomplish them through a few key ways including practical work with their instrument and development of the musical ear. I have a respect for and employ the traditions of western music, but I also recognize that modern music is different both in how it is made and how it is heard. Read More

I am passionate about the guitar. It is a totally unique instrument. In fact, it is the only instrument that matches the piano in range and one of the only instruments where the exact same note and pitch can be found on the same instrument. I have taught my nieces and nephews how to play the guitar. I have also taught friends and band-mates how to play the instrument and look forward to sharing my love for the instrument with others.
