I believe that it is essential for students to learn the music grammar and the learn the basic fundamentals, which are used by every professional, no matter what style of music they play. It allows the students to be in love with music and later play whatever they want. I tailor every lesson to the student's wants and needs. I try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, and of course valuable for the student's progression. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Violin, Cello, Viola, Fiddle, Double Bass, Music, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

For violin, viola, cello and bass, I teach the Suzuki method. The Suzuki method is based strongly on memory and takes a systematic approach to introducing music of increasing difficulty. For classical guitar, I start off with the Frederick Noad system, "Solo Guitar Playing", and scales. As skill level increases, I assign more etudes and standard guitar repertoire. For acoustic guitar, I teach almost exclusively finger-picking. I teach the same high standard skills for acoustic guitar that I teach for classical, but concentrate on masterpieces of the repertoire. Read More

Music is not made, if it is not loved. Read More
