Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

I began teaching as soon as I felt I had a comfortable grasp on my instrument(s) as a teenager in high school.

But with that consistent practice will come a sense of pride and motivation at what has been accomplished and the desire to continue. Read More

I am a kind, patient man who believes that learning to play music is it's own reward.

My style is simply to encourage students as they progress and address difficulties in a positive and and constructive method. Read More

Prior to starting the formal lessons with the student, I like to understand why they want to play that particular instrument and the type of music that they enjoy.
