This would be my first professional setting teaching. Ive taught friends before but this is new to me. I think of teaching as a learning experience for both parties in that I get to go over my fundamentals and at the same time get to see someone else benefit from it. Teaching in general is extremely rewarding that way, watching thr student pick up after the teaching. Its a pleasure for both the teacher and the sudent. Read More

Teaching and watching my students grow and develop as musicians is truly a rewarding experience. I help them accomplish their goals by understanding where they are and by setting challenging, fun, and realistic goals for each lesson. I'm a patient teacher who believes in being positive and giving honest and consistent feedback to my students.  My goal is to create a disciplined but friendly environment for me and my students where respect and focus are the main pillars of every lesson allowing this way to enjoy the music learning process.

My teaching experience dates back to my highschool days in Paris where I started teaching three students once a week each to make some extra pocket money. I always travel to my student's homes and also have experience with online tutoring. I am used to teaching in both French and English as I use to cater to the international community of Paris as both a music and a language tutor. Read More

With the small devotion of 30 minutes a day to your practicing, I can make a novice player become a good guitarist, and a good guitarist into a great player. For beginning pre-teen students, I most often begin with the Alfred Auberge method.  For those who can already read music or have played another instrument, the Mel Bay method is a good start.  For adults, I often use the Frederick Noad books Segovia Diatonic scales and Giuliani arpeggios.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with simple chords and teach them a few fun songs. If the student is interested in learning how to read music, I will use Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance if they are interested in performing live. For adults, I like to find out what they are most interested in, whether it is a specific genre, (jazz/classical) or if they are more interested in learning songs (classic rock/pop/etc.) or songwriting.
