This will open doors down the road and will enhance his or her capacity for learning*, not just musically but in all areas of intellect. No singular student is typical. Therefore no teaching method is typical, nor is the approach to any given student. Technique, thought process, feel/emotion, pulse/rhythm,ear and theory are all explored to a degree that is comfortably absorbed by the individual. The degree of aptitude reflected by an individual student will commensurate to the challenge that I will offer in terms of a reasonable expectation for success or, more importantly, the great pleasure to be derived from making music, sharing that ability and the personal reward that comes with that sense of accomplishment in communicating with music.

I start out with fundamental theory, scales, and chords, along with easy songs and riffs. I teach student differently depending on their skill and ability level. I utilize textbooks and DVDs to accompany the lessons. My approach is straight forward, which enables the students to learn quickly.I think the visual aspect of the guitar is very important, so I focus a lot on theory applied directly to the guitar.

Often I do use Mel Bay or Hal Leonard books to get a student started reading, but try to shift to popular music as soon as possible to keep the repertoire interesting and relevant for the student, as well has their families and peers. As the student develops, students will learn to expand on these ideas with theory based improvisation to "make the song their own." For More Advanced students, we can work from the Real or Fake Books, or the Ireel App to increase improvisational experience and confidence. Read More

Nothing makes me happier than having the opportunity to share my love of music and guitar. Upon graduating from Skidmore College in 2000, I was accepted to Florida State University to the classical guitar program under the study of Bruce Holzman. I feel my decision to simultaneously work towards two masters degrees speaks clearly for my motivation and passion towards music. While I focused on music theory/composition for my PhD studies at Louisiana State University, I continued performing newly composed works by graduate composers for the instrument. Read More

I am a veteran of the teaching profession. I graduated from S.C.S.U. in 1986 and I have been instructing students in many capacities since that time. Some attributes I bring to my profession are a calm, understanding demeanor and a passion for helping my students achieve their individual goals. My motivation for remaining in this profession for this length of time is the benefit I pass to my students. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
For students who are just starting to learn - I teach them the basics of music and how to properly handle the guitar. It is very important to know your way around the instrument, so I will touch upon basic things such as the parts of a guitar, the names of the strings, how to know where you are on the fretboard, etc. From here I will proceed to develop the student's technique so they feel comfortable enough to begin playing scales and chords.

I am accomplished in sight-reading, ear training, improvisation, performing, transposing, designing, tuning, engineering, mixing, mastering, and trouble shooting in varied settings. I am a veteran. Most of my teaching experience is not music related, however I have given bass and piano lessons before. There are many similarities between music and anti-terrorism practices. Both require practice. Both require repetition. Both require vigilance and attention to detail. As such I feel I am qualified to assist students in establishing good practice habits. Read More

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I am actually pursuing my dream job, being a college professor, teaching philosophy and education. I love music, but philosophy and education is something of a higher power for me. I study national education policy and state education policy. I hope one day I am able to change the way federal and state policy is enacted. I believe the state of education is going the wrong way. Teachers should have complete control of what they teach and how they teach it. This is something I am really passionate about.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I answered this question above. I love everything. I am not opposed to playing any style. I have played country, celtic, funk, blues, jazz, hip-hop, indie rock, folk rock, and more. I do love playing indie rock though. As long as I am creating something new I am happy. Music is infinite and you can play something twice and it will be different each time. That is why music is special. Music can be difficult and easy, but it is always fun. I will play anything at anytime. There is nothing I would not play.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I had tolerant just about every instrument in my music education program. I had to take piano for two years in college, classical piano and jazz piano. This helped me out greatly when it came to composing songs. The piano is like having every instrument at your finger tips it is the best instrument. I love paying other instruments because it is a new world for me both physically and mentally. I am like a kid in a candy shop. I recently started playing trumpet because it seemed challenging, and it is, but it is very fun.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music does not run in my family. I took the pains of learning how to play music at the age of twenty-four years old. I learned how to read music, learn by ear, and physically play. This was an amazing experience for me. It helped me see that discipline is the main source in learning to play music. I had a great work ethic before I started to play and now it is even stronger because of music. I am the only one in my family that plays music. I learned from friends, teachers, and on the job training.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I fell into playing music professionally. I was professionally playing before I went to college for music. I played about four to five nights a week an learned everything from playing live, sort of. I practiced about eight hours a day on top of working, building houses. I had the passion, drive, and want to go somewhere with music. I made it happen by playing and practicing. I made sure that I was humble, reliable, and good at what I did. These reasons are the only reasons why I was able to play professionally.
