Because I teach at my recording studio I am able to offer recorded feedback of the student's performances and lessons. Further, there can be collaboration with recording artists and other students through the online connection we have set up. Students Feedback Is it Luck or the Power of Creative Thinking?

I am a very passionate musician and instructor who loves working with students of all ages and ability to help achieve their goals and spread the joy of playing music.

I always start with new students by assessing their level. For most beginner students, I introduce open chords and basic single note playing, eventually leading to chord progressions and basic classic rock riffs.

The first thing I do when teaching a student is to learn what musical goals and aspirations the student may have. Then, depending on age and experience, I build a custom program for the student, which may include using various books, resources, and even materials which I have created. I have found that this is not only the most effective way for me to teach but also the most effective way to connect with students where they are and for them to learn at their own pace while also enjoying the process.
