For beginner students who are children I like to start by teaching them the songs that they like, because that keeps them focused on learning and engaged in the beginning.

I'm a multi-instrumentalist, a songwriter, a producer, a performer, and a lifelong student.

My life has been enriched by great teachers, and I hope to pass that gift on to others looking to further enjoy making music. Read More

I like to take a very personalized approach to teaching and my methods can vary greatly depending on my students goals and interests. I think the most important aspect of learning the guitar is enjoying the process of practicing the instrument.

I began teaching lessons in college. Most of my early students were elementary-school aged and novice. There, I learned that regular practice must be encouraged to allow interest to begin to pique and passion begin to form. I firmly believe that hard work and discipline go much further than talent alone. I also firmly believe in fun! My most deeply seeded goal is for my students to develop a life-long love and practice of music! Read More

I really can't say much different from what I said in my methods, my methods and teaching style are singular and at one with each other, My goals and agendas while flexible for different students have been balanced by years and thousands of lessons into my own styles of teaching. I did take a Pedagogy course as well and teaching is a real art. I take students into music they're interested in right away if they already know what they like. Read More
