Guitar Lessons in Antioch, TN

Instruments: Guitar

For all students I start with the basic fundamentals. For younger students I try to find out where they are in their music classes at school and incorporate as much of that curriculum into my instruction as possible. For older or more advanced students I find out what type of music they are interested in learning and gear my instruction towards their interests. I have several instructional books series that I work from, including Hal Leonard, Mel Bay and my own packet/study guides that I have put together that I present to my students as they progress.

Slow and steady progress in all areas of music is the way I have learned, and is the way that I teach. Read More

I also have a strong passion for world music in which I am constantly researching and discovering. Read More

I have my own method of teaching music, based on a combination of methods from Berklee College of Music, music schools where I taught over the years and things I've learned on the road etc. My lessons are custom made to the specific needs of each student. But there are certain things I like to teach everyone regardless of music taste, such as theory, technique and songwriting. In my experience, those 3 areas of music teaching walk hand in hand.
