For a beginning student on guitar, I have them learning notes from a Hal Leonard, Mel Bay, or Alfred starter book.

I also work with music theory. It is also important to know what you are doing, not just putting your fingers on the strings. Read More

The first thing I ask a student is what kind of music they enjoy. What we love to hear is almost always what we want to play. As someone with ADHD I completely understand and empathize with students who have a difficult time focusing and a different way of understanding a concept. Taking a breath and a stretch can sometimes be the best cure for learner's block. Pointing out real progress is one of the best way to fuel the desire to learn more and is itself a reward! Read More

Over years of experience in extremely disparate teaching environments, I have developed a teaching method designed to accommodate learners of all backgrounds and abilities. My teaching method has been workshopped through countless hours of 1on1 and classroom instruction, pedagogical research, student feedback and peer review, and study of industry best practices. The central values of my teaching method are: 1) Celebrating the unique qualities, talents, and aspirations of each of my students. 2) Curating musical curiosity, passion, resilience, wonder, and discipline 3) Helping my students develop a lifelong engagement with music Read More

My teaching style is patient, thorough, and persistent. For beginning students I start with a simple five note scale, how to hold or sit with the instrument, and an easy tune such as mary had a little lamb or happy birthday; Some students get that in the first lesson and some take a couple weeks everyone has their own process. I like to students to work with method or etude books and have a folder or music notation notebook to keep notes and lessons, organization is up to the student. Read More

My teaching style is aimed at helping my students express themselves through music, and enjoy playing their instruments. The starting point for this is learning the basics (scales, long tones, arpeggios, etc), but I also encourage my students to improvise and allow themselves to freely play their instrument in a joyful way. I also help them learn pieces and styles that they love. Through working on all of these aspects of being a musician, and encouraging them to take performance opportunities, I help my students to really find their own voice on their instrument. Read More
