My methods really depend on the level of the student. For beginners, I tend to stick to basics by teaching them chords, scales, and basic music theory; by using music that they would like to learn how to play.

My day job is in IT, but my passion is music! I picked up a bass guitar at 12 years old and an acoustic guitar at age 15. I became a drummer at age 16. Now I am a seasoned musician, but more important- I am a 40 year old husband and father of 2 boys. I love giving children the knowledge and skills they need to express themselves through music. My musical career has not been glamorous. Read More

I tailor each lesson plan to specifically fit the student that I am working with and to build upon their interests and skills. My main goal during our initial lesson is to find out the students true interest and true passion in relation to their bass and/or guitar. This can be anything from a genre of choice, and artist of choice, or simply wanting to learn music in general. Read More

I would describe my teaching style as easy-going and fun. I know that there's a broad spectrum of styles that can apply to the way a student learns, but I find that getting to know the student first is key. Once I know the student's interests, we can start to learn how to play right away, and it's much more fun when they can learn a song that is familiar. Read More
