My teaching curriculum generally involves a degree of structure mixed with topics of student interest. For example, there are certain aspects of music that any student should probably learn in order to gain a true understanding of musicianship. Likewise, I certainly understand that it is important to find joy in the journey, and to tailor guitar lessons to each individual student. My hope is that each of my students will come away with a quality education in music. Read More

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.

I approach teaching with an empty canvas. As i ask questions and listen to responses, we begin to paint that canvas until we have the same metaphorical picture. Once this is established we can build more and more from that initial canvas. I take my time to guide my students into a hands on approach to learning. I do NOT force students to do something they are uncomfortable with, and If the issue ever comes up I will urge my student, chaperone or parent the speak up! Read More
