My method is divided in two categories: Application and theory. For beginning students we work on basic motor skills for the instrument. Through simple exercises, utilizing patterns from diagrams, most students gain a proficiency at handling the instruments within weeks.

Once the instrument has become familiarized and the students are comfortable enough, then we'll begin introducing theory into practice. Read More

First lesson I start by assessing what level the student is at and what goals they have with their music and develop a lesson plan from there.

Once a student has a small success, they will seek another. Read More

Currently Im teaching guitar at the fine arts academy and I am teaching one student consistently while also substituting occasionally. One thing I have learned through teaching is that actually listening to music during practice is a big help and motivation which I like to include in sessions. Read More
