For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Guitar for Kids and Bass for Kids methods. At the same time, I assign exercises that will help develop the students technique.

I try to find out what kind of music the student is interested in, and guide my instruction to keep the lessons interesting and engaging. Read More

If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm not doing my job! Read More
