My style of teaching is personal and caring. Whether my students develop a desire to pursue music beyond our lessons, I care about their happiness and personal success in life. I develop a relationship with my students and I really enjoy it when I hear that they used a concept I taught them in our music lessons for something beyond music. I at least hope to instill a strong understanding and enjoyment of music in each of my students which they can share with the people in their life. Read More

I blend the tried-and-true poise of classical technique with holistic approaches to satisfy two purposes: 1) the traditional desire to hone skill with practice and discipline, and 2) the psychological development of the student's independent musicianship. Music without expression is only sport. While technique, exercise, rigor, and history are essential in order to develop the deepest possible understanding of music, I aim to go beyond this to shape the independent expressionism of each student.

For beginning students who are children, I use a variety of methods, including Hal Leonard's Children's Guitar Method, Suzuki methodologies (I am NOT a Suzuki-certified teacher), and materials I've developed over my 25 year teaching career. I emphasize basic technique for the left and right hands, and I make sure they learn the basics of reading music. For older students (middle school-age to adult), I tend to let the student lead.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practice equals regular practice. Take the stress off of thinking about how often you practice and create a simple practice habit complete with a trigger, action, reward, and belief. I am addicted to coffee. I will not drink a cup of coffee unless I have practiced. Every day when I wake up, I start the coffee maker, which takes about 20 minutes to brew. During that brew time, I practice string bass. Now that my practice has been made more regular, I have gotten much better, and I have been able to recognize greater rewards beyond a cup of joe. These include, feeling great, sounding great, and greater opportunities. Some days though I really, really, really, don't want to practice. On those days I have to remember WHY I decided to practice in the first place. I love helping people. I support my family, friends, and my musical peers with my consistency on the string bass. When I take days off of practice, I believe that it directly hurts them and I don't want that! So, why do you want to practice?
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When your child was born, your family did not give them the silent treatment until they were deemed "ready" for speech did they? Who would ever do that?? Instead they were exposed to numerous native speakers on a daily basis until they said their first word. (Mine was "light") Even now, your child receives languages lessons of the highest caliber from people all around them. Music is similar to language in that kids learn quickly at a young age. That is why singing nursery rhymes with your child was so important! (Way to go!) . Now, if your child is experiencing less opportunity to make music, or if they need extra support with expressing themselves creatively, music lessons are a fantastic option. Aside from all of the neurological benefits music provides children, it is a great way to have fun and make friends. If your child is ready for that, then they are probably ready for music lessons!
When will I start to see results?
Your instructor is responsible for guiding you to the results that you are hoping for, but if your idea of results is headlining at Red Rocks and you just learned how to tune your instrument, you may be waiting for a while. On the other hand, highlighting results like knowing how to breathe properly, can be super boring and uninspiring. Here are some results that I like to see in my own musical life : not getting lost in a song, listening to others while I play, playing for somebody sick, playing an old song for a memory patient, having fun while practicing, making a friend who plays my instrument, playing a recital, not losing focus while practicing, creating something, being comfortable with playing... Having an instructor is a great way to help you stay motivated and focus on what is really important along every step of your musical journey. Go get some results!
