Instruments: Guitar Classical Guitar
My teaching style is very flexible. If I see that a particular lesson isn't working, I will change to a lesson covering something the student is more interested in, and possibly not as intimidated. The main thing is for the student to gain confidence in what he/she is trying to learn. I also think that teaching my students to read music in standard notation is a very important aspect of my teaching. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice
Functional Voice Method, also known as Rabine Method is a voice pedagogy created by singer, chorus director and voice teacher Maestro Eugene Rabine. Voice health is essential and the cornestone of this pedagogy. Understanding our physiollogy and anatomy and how to reach a balance in wich the vocal cords can work with no extra stress or tension. Self-perception is the guide and nothing is more comfortating that getting in touch with our own physiology, rather than follow external rules or images of how our voices should work or sound.

i start beginning guitarists out with Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book One, because even if a player is not destined to rely on traditional notation, they still need to know the names of the notes, so they can communicate with others. I approach ukulele somewhat less formally, because chords can be played right off the bat--singing is encouraged. For bass students, ensemble is stressed from the get-go--bass is inherently a goup affair. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I believe the single most important part of a musician's work begins in the ear. Building a foundation in aural training, and understanding what you're hearing, will allow any student to then approach an instrument with clarity and patience. For most students at beginning or intermediate levels, I'll use a dual-curriculum approach to develop ear training/theory understanding alongside technical skill and practical ability. I create my own lesson plans with each student's needs in mind, in order to help them follow their personal path to musical success. Read More

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Not that I know of.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
One of the hardest thing to master as a guitar or bass player is the physcal strength, flexibility and coordination of the fingers and hands. The left and the right hands have to develop different capabilities theateventually work together to create musical tones and rhythms.
Beginning students sometimes find it very diffucult to play enough to grow callouses on their "fretting" fingers so they can press the strings down without too much pain.
I think it is true for all instruments that maybe the biggest challenge is staying with it over many years, so that your growth as a person can show up in your playing.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I wanted to play trumpet and bugged my parent for at least a year about it. I signed up for lessons in school but found teachers mostly old and uninspiring. It's where I learned to read music and develop an appreciation for musicians. My real inspiration came from a friend who lived up the street from me and wanted to teach me how to play so we could start a band some day. I sold my trumpet for my first guitar and that got mr going.
After that I was fortunate enough to meet some great players and take a few private lessons. Now there are some many learning resources online to keep me inspired. Honestly, my students are an ongoing inspiration to me to keep improving.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I switched to guiter because I wanted to play contemporary music I liked, what was rock and folk back then. Guitar and bass seemed to me to be better suited for those styles. You can't overlook personal taste and youthful enthusiasm when deciding an which instrument to play.
I think everyone has some kind of musical talent, just like everyone can do math. But some of us love math and the rest of us use it as needed but don't go to bed at night dreaming about multiplication tables. We can all appreciate music but the musicians among us often know what they like to hear and want to imitate.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Learning how to learn music, then learning it.
Learning how to teach music by teaching it.
Performing before live and appreciaative audiences.
Seeing my students progress in their learning.
Seeing myself continue to progress as a musician and teacher ... still, even after 40+ years of playing and studying.
Developing into a much better singer and learing how to be an entertainer, as well.
Using my experience teaching world cultures to enhance my understanding of the history of music and the role it has "played" in the on-going evolution of culture.
