Instruments:
Over the past 40 years I have been involved with several different “R&B” bands and played various college circuits, also playing in local clubs and many private parties. I have had a wonderful opportunity to meet and play with many professional musicians in my career. My approach to teaching is to customize lessons based upon the individuals’ age, current skill level and their personal goals. Teaching them how to read music, phrase their sound and control the dynamics to produce a cohesive piece of music. I often record students during a lesson, which allows them the ability to hear their progress week to week and helps them to focus on the areas in need. Many of my students have credited me as having had a positive influence for them to continue their music education at college level, and they themselves have become accomplished musicians.
Instruments:
I assign music lessons that are appropiate to the students' learning pace. I also adapt different metods of teaching tailored to the students' needs and their goals.
Instruments:
I teach more than 35 years now. It is a great experience combined of mostly private lessons and classroom experience. I am trying to motivate my students according to their interests and also buy using a worldly music knowledge that we inherited form generations of musicians who ever lived on Earth. Works of contemporary musicians are also used as a great tool for inspiration of my students. I encourage my students to performing public, even in a very small scale. This is crucial fro their self-expression and freeing themselves from eventual emotional inhibitions. It is great joy to play or sing music with others, and they are also directed appropriately.
Instruments:
It is very important to understand that music students are individuals and learn in many different learning styles. The first thing I do when I meet a student is to interview the student and find out their music interest and why they want to learn how to play the guitar and what are some of their goals. Then I find out what style of music they would like to learn. I have the student come up with ten songs they would like to learn. I take this information and structure future guitar lessons around the essential elements of these songs. I design each lesson to teach the specific skills required to learn those songs. I create an organized binder guitar workbook and having a teaching degree I create all of the lessons to meet each students individual needs that include lessons on theory, technique, chords, rhythm, scales, arpeggios, songs, song form, and exercises etc.
Instruments:
I work from my own syllabus that I have created for over 3 decades of tried and proven methods. I regularly use audio and video tools during my lessons for my students to use as reference. Whether I'm teaching mechanical skills, chord formation, scales/modes, theory or songwriting, I have the latest technology that is available to assist my students in learning, having fun, and having an overall positive and enriching experience in their journey with the guitar. I start with what is "basic" for my individual student. What is basic for one may not be basic for another. I pinpoint and then build upon what is easy for them and work from there. My students build skills at their pace, while having fun along their journey.
