My teaching style is what I call allied teaching. Even though we need to study the mathematics of music, so to speak, we cannot forget that music is art and art is not exact. Music has an infinite number of paths to offer you and even if you know all the scales that exist, if you don't know how to apply them in a harmonious and spontaneous way you will be stuck in the same place.

When I was growing up, one of my favorite memories is listening to my grandfather play bluegrass on his guitar and banjo. He gave me my first guitar at age 12 and started to show me chords and patterns to play. But it was when I first heard led Zepplin's black dog opening riff that I knew I wanted to rock. I then started teaching myself by ear with an old record player and my guitar. Read More

From beginners to experts, foundational work is key to progressing as a musician. Beginners will start by learning technique, theory, and active listening and music industry 'must haves'. More advanced students will go into more detail on these subjects with a heavier work load. Expert students will learn what they have missed in the beginner to intermediate and advanced levels. Once the expert students have begun to polish their style, we will go deeper into the music industry and how musicians can work on their brand, image, message, and intent with their music. some lessons will be primarily listening, as it is vital for musicians to have a strong ear, as well as muscle memory with their particular instrument.

My teaching experience dates back to my youth, as I began teaching private lessons at the age of 15. I have been consistently teaching students in their homes since then, with the most students since graduating from college.

I've been teaching for over 4 years with this last year at Guitar Center in Ogden.

I've always believed that learning comes 50% from the teacher, and 50% from the student. I do teach through lesson books but I've always found that they're better used as a guide rather than the focus of every lesson. I like to give the students the freedom to learn what they want to learn. I've always been willing to go the extra mile for my students, not just show up every week and continue from page 20 to see how far we get in the lesson book. Read More
