The teaching begins with identifying student's musical needs, goals and tastes.

Also, I can teach the know-how of Jazz and Blues though gradual lessons that cover basic scales and chords up to melody and harmony development. Read More

The golden rule of teaching music for me is to always offer a challenge that the student can manage, whether it be a very small degree of difficulty or a larger degree of difficulty.
