Instruments: Guitar, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Trumpet, Bass Guitar

I've been teaching since 2005:  Privately with students in their home or my studio, with brick-and-mortar studios, and with online lessons services (like Musika).  It's most important that my students have fun learning their instrument, but I also emphasize daily practice and work on the fundamentals of whichever instrument he or she is learning.  After all, if you don't work on the fundamentals, then you won't be able to play your instrument any better.

I have a very personal and relaxed way of teaching that helps each student enjoy and advance on their chosen instrument at their pace.

I use the student's preferred style of music to teach them how to play, and expand their styles and technique from there. Read More
