I blend the tried-and-true poise of classical technique with holistic approaches to satisfy two purposes: 1) the traditional desire to hone skill with practice and discipline, and 2) the psychological development of the student's independent musicianship. Music without expression is only sport. While technique, exercise, rigor, and history are essential in order to develop the deepest possible understanding of music, I aim to go beyond this to shape the independent expressionism of each student.

I've been playing music since the age of 7. Classically trained in Guitar and Cello, I continued focusing on the guitar when I receieved a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music. The last 19 years of my life has been nothing but excitment from sharing the stage with national acts, playing music festivals to recording with a grammy writer. Since early 2000, I have been an active guitar instructor in Denver where I currently reside. Read More

One of the greatest joys of teachingis to see that lightbulb go on when my students really start to pick things up and the excitement they getin seeing and hearing their own musical growth!

My promise to you is, “If you put in the work, you will be given every opportunity to succeed!” Everyone is different, and as a result, everyone’s individual lesson will be different. Your lessons will be suited to your interests and skill level. People are not the same and all music is not the same, therefor everyone's lesson should not be the same. Maybe you are looking to become a professional, or maybe you’re just looking to have some fun with the guitar and music. Read More

I attribute development of my teaching method to having started as young as I did; it is my firm belief that students and teachers should learn together, and that, especially with younger students, that it should be fun, engaging, and even a little bit silly at times. I both encourage and require regular practice on a consistent schedule; practicing not only helps students further their progress, but it helps them to avoid burnout by maintaining a view of music as less of a chore and more of a fun activity.

Depending on experience level I like to get people making music as soon as possible. I know that trudging through the basics can be tiring. Of course some basics are neccesary but I like to make the basics sound as musical as possible. We will cover the fundamentals but we'll do so in such a way that it won't feel like so much work. I like to use books, depending on skill level, for reference but I have a very hands on approach and feel that the best work to be done together is the stuff that can't be found in the book.

No one ever regrets learning music and I believe that often times when a student gives up on music it's because they are not taught in a way that is effective for them. A one approach fits all teaching style can cause students to loose interest and not practice which in turn leads them to get frustrated, bored and ultimately causing them to give up. I teach because I love to see people get those a-ha moments, which gives them the ability, understand music in a way that they can teach themselves. Read More
