For younger beginners I tend to use Hal Leonard's Guitar Method series to build a foundation of basic knowledge and fundamental techniques.

For Beginner students I would start with the Frederick Noad Classical Guitar book. This book is a great book to hold interest in the Students.

My approach is always to make music first. Yes I like to teach how to play "correctly" and all the "right" notes, but at the end of the day there is something bigger to take from music.

I teach so that my enthusiasm, bolstered by critical listening skills, becomes contagious. Read More
