I've actually written and produced my own music theory book that was in all Borders stores before they closed down. I've learned a few methods and I try to incorporate them all unless the student or parents wants something specific. My method is a method where I can teach 1 thing countless ways. I love my students to learn theory because it is a very important backbone to music. Some people can play instruments without ever really kwoing what they are playing or understand the theory behind it, and I think it holds them back from truely being creative and understanding of music.    With my methods students will be able to play from any genre, any book, and hopefully will be able to create their own music.

My teaching style is very relaxed, but I will push you when necessary. I will adapt my methods for each student. If your goal is to prepare for a college recital, then we will work very hard together to make sure you are prepared. For the more casual student, we will focus more on music that you want to learn while maintaining proper technique and practice methods. I want to make sure that everyone has a positive experience learning the guitar, but also feels like they are progressing at the same time. Read More

The Joy that the student experiences in their playing as they develop gets transferred to the listening audience and is a very rewarding experience! Read More
