Lessons NEED to be enjoyable, almost memorable experience. My philosophy is: as a teacher, the student should want to have another lesson the following week. Meaning, having something say a scale, 3 notes, a chord, or almost a whole song really understanding and sticks to the mind.

Theres nothing more fulfilling for me as an instructor than witnessing my students ignite their passion for music. In line with the teachings of great musicians like Victor Wooten, particularly his work on Music is the Language, I firmly believe that every student is a unique musical soul, and its crucial that they progress at their own pace.

My methods vary depending on skill level, but with every student I begin by examining their understanding of theory as I believe theory is the basis of all music. I then like to get an understanding of what their main goals are, whether that be learning to play music for friends and family all the way up to making a career out of it. My experience in audio engineering, management, and producing also allows me to help students plan for a solid future career in whatever field suits them. Read More
