Instruments:
My teaching style is song based. I generally try inspire my students by having them learn material that they want to play. For beginners I teach the notes and chords and how they apply to the songs they want to learn. For advanced students we examine what techniques and concepts are used in the songs.
Instruments:
My experience teaching goes back to when I was about 17 years old I started teaching my other friends how to play guitar or bass so that we could jam together. As time went along and started teaching other people how to play guitar and started working in music schools teaching children all the way up to senior citizens guitar. Since then I've been doing private lessons one on one with people.
Instruments:
My style is largely theory and hard technique based. I know that every student is very different and will have a different optimal technique. Whether that means I need to teach a rock student fingerstyle or hybrid picking to master a song with fast arpeggiations, or maybe figure out that someone with small hands must move their left thumb down a little bit to hit a cross-neck chord in a classical song, for instance, I personally believe that everyone is going to play a little differently to achieve the same results. Having had so many teachers myself, I have a very broad understanding of what makes technique work and not work. I think developing my students ears and teaching them not only how to play music, but why music is the way it is by far the most important and invaluable part of my lessons depending upon my student's goals. If a student can understand why the songs I teach them are written the way they are, and are able to identify certain structures in a song, they then have the ability to teach themselves something I haven't yet, maybe develop their own opinions on individual songs, and even write their own! This is a crucial tool I believe is left out of far too many teacher's lesson plans. If a student just wishes to learn to play their favorite songs and that is their goal, I will comply with the request, and I completely respect all of my students aspirations with their instrument! Open-mindedness is the biggest element I try to instill in my teaching career.
Instruments:
10 plus years teaching voice, piano, guitar, clarinet, music theory, and composition.
Instruments:
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. It is my passion to connect students with the music they love.
