I like the Hal Leonard Guitar Method series, for guitar. I also use scales, picks, fingerstyle methods, and backing tracks to help get the students up to speed on a song or a riff they'd like to learn. It's important to understand the background of music, so I tend to also teach students the structure of a 12-bar blues progression and relate it to songs of yesterday and today. This enables students to get a well-rounded introduction to understanding timing, tempo, basic theory/progressions, improvisational ideas, and more! Read More

My teaching style is very relaxed, but I will push you when necessary. I will adapt my methods for each student.

I want to make sure that everyone has a positive experience learning the guitar, but also feels like they are progressing at the same time. Read More
