Instruments:
I actually began teaching under my teacher when I was about 14 years of age. Since that time I've worked with young and old and done my best to give them the joys of music that everyone should have at some point. I've been very fortunate to have had a good number of students who have enjoyed great success with music as a profession. I try to impart my wisdom and experience to assist students in achieving their musical goals, whatever they may be.
Instruments:
I give a very good foundational approach to the learning experience. For example, I teach students how to find the notes on the guitar and the bass. From there on the guitar, I teach the open string chords. On the bass, I give fingering exercises and patterns to work on. With the chords, we look at simple songs to play. On the bass I show them how the bass lines work with songs. There is a lot more to this process, and it doesn't stop there.
Instruments:
For beginners, I usually start with the Hal Leanard Guitar Method series to establish a strong foundation. I focus on promoting good habits with technique, and an understanding of how to translate music notes from the page onto the instrument. Once the foundation is established, for kids we start working on repertoire for recitals. Depending on the style, this will also be accompanied by an introduction to improvisation. For adults, I try to tailor the lessons to the musical interests of my student to keep the lessons engaging and fun at all levels.
Instruments:
The teaching style that I use is to get to know my students and keep a fun and engaging atmosphere. I try to convey that the goal of learning an instrument is to play music, so I always save time for playing songs or jamming together. I always found that my best teachers were kind and lighthearted individuals that understood my needs. I try to be the same for my students. Through encouragement and recongnition of progress I keep students excited for their next lesson rather than being afraid of what could otherwise be a boring or intimidating experience.
Instruments:
"The art of teaching is the Art of assisting discovery" - Mark Van Doren My teaching method is always geared towards to my students goals. I know that the best teacher is able to identify what exactly needs to be paid attention to in your playing to take you to the next level. With these ideas in mind, the lesson are built from a combination of what the final goals are, and what needs to be developed to get there. From there we find exercises and studies that will lead us in the direction of these goals. This keeps things relevant and exciting for both me and the student. This approach is also applicable to the beginner and to the advanced student, in any style.
