For beginning students, I strive to teach the basics of music theory while learning the fundamentals of producing characteristic tone on their instrument. I typically start by working through the Essential Elements method book and introduce solos, ensembles, and orchestral excerps when appropriate.

I start by teaching the basic theory method, especially for beginners. After the basic theory, I start working with rhythms and slowly bring in pieces from the Suzuki books, for strings. Most of my teaching is from the various levels of Suzuki books and Kreutzer Etudes. There are some exercises that my orchestra teacher created that I use from him. The big thing I teach is intonation and technique. For vocalists, it is whatever they are interested in and then working with vocal technique. Read More

When working with younger children, I use the Children's progressive method for guitar and for the older students I use the Hal Leonard guitar method books 1, 2 and 3.

I'm a passionate and motivated musician who loves giving my students the tools necessary for success in a wide variety of musical genres.

I have also found much enjoyment in singing for punk rock/heavy metal bands, and have intermittently written my own original material. Read More
