I also helped his younger brother learn easier ways to finger pick melodies, which he preferred. Read More

I teach music by breaking down the elements of a performance to as digestible a lesson as the student feels comfortable in tackling.

At the very beginning level I would start with fundamentals from whatever book I feel would be best for the student depending on their age and knowledge. Beforehand I definitely will need to asses their knowledge so I can do so accordingly.
