I love to get students excited about playing the instrument. The basics are important to learn but it needs to be fun first! If you are a beginner, let me show you some easy ways to play along with your favorite songs and get you excited to hear yourself play!

My philosophy is simple, it is better to play a small amount of time on a consistent basis than it is to practice once for an extended period. Read More

I usually combine the book material with other songs/pieces relevant to each student's interests. For more advanced students, I usually find a mix of repetoire relevant to their interests and technical exercises for them to refine and develop technique. Read More
