Depending on the level the student is at I will work with them where they are at and what is needed. If a beginning student I will usually start off with working on scales and use visual tools such as books to help aid the process.

Having taught guitar both privately and as an independent contractor, I have experience teaching a wide variety of student types. What I try to do is bring the aspects of the student's playing to their attention that may not have otherwise noticed. I try to satisfy the student's curiosity as well as make recommendations for areas of focus in the student's practice routine that I find valuable. Especially in the case of children, my students certainly notice an improvement in their ability to focus after taking lessons with me for an extended period, and parents have a lot to benefit from this as well.

When our intentions are focused on communicating something valuable to the listener the musician playing begins to flow from the heart. Read More

Music is the power, engine and trigger of the best emotions and feeling I can think of. That's my main consideration about a lifelong relationship with music. I pick up the guitar for the first time at nine years old, after piano and cello, but I properly started my academic path at the Conservatory "Ghedini" (Cuneo) and the Academy of Modern Music in Turin few years later. I then graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, guitar performance with Summa cum Laude. Read More

Teaching style could easily be summaried and paraphrased with my above stated pedagogy! Teaching style changes from student to teacher. I enjoy trying to decipher what the student enjoys hearing, wants to learn, prior knowledge, and desires are. These help in my search to find the perfect style at which the student understands and enjoys the task at hand.  Read More
