Working for a local drum teacher in 2005, I started teaching private music lessons in students' homes. From there, I took up residence at a local music store where I taught guitar, ukulele, bass, harmonica, songwriting, and music theory for the next fifteen years.

Teaching started in my college years, taking up opportunities to teach family and friends for fun. Ironically, my first student happened to be my dad.

It's worth teaching because you can inspire any and everybody to learn and play music. Read More

For more formal styles, I will use traditional methods created by Hal Leonard, Mel Bay, Frederick Noad etc..

Methods and materials must be carefully chosen or created to move them to the next level of playing, without frustration or boredom. Read More
