Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Though each student gets a lesson plan that is catered to their individual needs, I start everyone off with these three questions: Which musical artists do you listen do? What do you like about their music? What are your goals with taking lessons? I use this information to teach the student how to play some of their favorite songs, how to write similar music, and how to use my lessons as a means of achieving their musical goals I have found that doing so results in faster results, and increased motivation.

I understand that students have other obligations and I do not believe music lessons should add stress to the students. Read More

I always start by asking the question: Where would you like to be with your instrument? What kind of music do you see yourself playing?

I then go on to pick a piece of music that the student wants to learn or that I suggest based on their tastes and focus on learning it with them part by part. Read More
