For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Piano or Guitar Lessons for the Young Beginner by Andrew Scott and Gary Turner. The student, even at a young age, learns an introduction to music theory. Each concept is taught in a very methodical and step-by-step approach. As a teacher, I am looking to prepare students for ongoing learning for years to come. The language of music can be very confusing and I am looking for ways to minimize those perplexing times.

I love seeing my students grow over the course of our lessons. Students will recognize improvement after only a few weeks of learning guitar. I enjoy working with positive reinforcement, encouragement, and the concept of working towards a goal. Students will learn to recognize the rewards of achieving their goals and how to create new goals on their own. I care for each of my students and love to see their joy when they get to play along with the songs they love. Read More

Of course this depends completely on the age and the experience of a student. Read More

I found my calling as a teacher two years ago, back in Dubai, when I was asked to help a friend's sister with a learning disability to play the guitar.

I started putting up ads in the street and, in no time, I was getting dozens of calls a day. Read More

Music has been healing, a form of release, and my passion for many years. I did not go to school for music, however I was raised in an environment, with a mother who loved rock-n-roll, so she taught us how to dance, however both of my parents were musicians. I learned to play music much later in life from instructors, and self-taught. Once I got the bug, I took voice lessons as well, eventually I became a singer songwriter. Read More

It was, but it was even more fun for me because I was already well comfortable with what they were teaching, so the teacher would use me as an aide to assist the other students with what they were learning. Throughout high school and college I taught the basics to cousins, girlfriends, and buddies on guitar, drums, and even ukulele (which I learned on the fly, but my understanding and past experience with music made it an easy task).
