We identify and focus on the task at hand. This is not for everyone, but for those that prefer this style, there is no substitute. Read More

Though I do have a formal music education, I did start off self-taught, learning songs from my favorite bands and artists. Because of this, I use a combination of assigned songs and songs requested by the student to help build and conceptually realize their facility on their instrument, as well as basic scale and chord theory.

I create my own lesson plans. But I create after having related to my client. How you learn determines the plan. My preference is to teach to the song.
