Everyone, has a different level of musical appetite and talent. Therefore, one of the most important roles of a music instructor is to explore their student's learning abilities and guide them through their musical journey. In this journey the most important factor is to enjoy all the scenery of the road which leads to mastering of their musical instruments both in the class room and their practice time. As a guitar teacher, I have always tried to help my students achieve these important goals with detailed and careful planning. Read More

I have been teaching guitar, formally, for a little over two years. I currently am teaching students through my own business and other student referral websites. Teaching is key to any career musician's income, my love of teaching is not strictly monetary. To help students set goals, work towards their dreams and realize their potential is an experience I wouldn't want anyone to miss. Besides the joys of being of service and seeing the light come on in my student's eyes, teaching keeps me on my toes, always learning new things and progressing my own musical dreams. Read More

My teaching experience goes back to middle school. I didn't get paid for it but I would teach the drummers their part the ensembles and performances in the orchestra and jazz band.

I would perform shows and people would ask for lessons after the gig, networking is a big part of the professional side of playing music I encourage listening to all styles of music. Read More

Applied behavior analysis is key to teaching complex tasks and acquiring fine motor skills to perform the student’s intentions. Reward systems are implemented with social reinforcement and earned graduation plans (free strings, picks, CD’s, books, etc.). I cater to the wishes and dreams of the student, while directing them to meet the requirements to obtain those wishes and dreams. Nothing is forced, compliance is always granted and earned, determined work ethic is displayed throughout. Read More

For my students, I tailor my methods based on the specific student's musical goals and their experience. I use a combination of method books and my own original teaching material to emphasize certain topics/skills. Instead of going from one page to the next in a music book, I like to combine multiple books and original practices to keep my students interested. Some of my students want to learn theory, some want to learn improvisation and some just want to learn their favorite songs. Read More
