Fun. Music is fun. Learning music should be fun. My style of teaching is to take what I find fun about playing music and introduce it to my students in gradual easy to understand steps. I do my best at teaching my students to read, write and create music. I also include many fun exercises to achieve finger dexterity.  For my more advanced students I will take them to local open mic nights to help grow their confidence. Read More

I've been teaching students from age 5 to age 85. With my younger students, when they arrive at lessons, I asked them for their numbers. The numbers are the amount of minutes each younger student practices per day. I tell all of my students you should target a minimum of 35 minutes per day, per instrument. It has been my experience over 35 years of teaching, you always improve and enjoy music with the 35 minute minimum. Read More

I always like to simplify the information delivery and maximize the playing. For this reason and, considering the differences that make us all unique, I would generally rely on specific methods depending on the needs of each student. Of course, in general terms, most beginners would have quite a lot of transcribing (playing songs or relevant parts of songs of important musicians), most intermediate students will learn some scales and chords and their uses and most advanced students will learn chord melody (solo guitar), improvising and comping in different styles and writing and arranging songs.

I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music.
