I have a variety of methods that I use to teach students. I have used many Hal Leonard's band and guitar books, I use a wide variety of materials so that the students can achieve their goals. There is always new material coming out and I will also write my own technical exercises if the student needs them. Beginning Classical Guitar by Hal Leonard is a specific example of one of the method books that I use for the Classical Method.I incorporate these methods on what the student wants to achieve.

Hi! My name is Daniel and I have been teaching guitar for over 15 years. I started playing the guitar at a young age. I learned mainly by ear from the first year or two, and asked anyone I met who played to teach me anything they could. Once I knew the basic chords and could play a few songs, I began taking professional lessons. My teacher taught me how to develop my ear properly so I could learn what I wanted without any help.

My earliest teaching engagements date back as far as middle school, where I was a member of the Dueitt Middle School guitar club: an after school extracurricular program based upon mutual learning. This eventually led to my joining the Spring High School music club, while offering independently designed lesson plans to students after school and during summer. I continued private lessons and music production well into my military career (including 'down time' in Afghanistan). Read More

For teaching children, I approach teaching as to the execution of everyday and fun pieces, so that the child learns by, and in turn I introduce aspects of academic learning necessary to create a solid base. In the same way,with young and adults, I make a work placement of the necessary techniques for a good and fast implementation, from technical learning exercise repetitive and daily ices, as well as the elaboration of a plan that involves their daily chores.

Hello! I am a friendly musical person who loves teaching and sharing the gift of music. I've been teaching for over three years now and love to help others grow in their pursuits. I recently just graduated from San Jacinto college, where I've had many master passes with great musicians such as Joseph Schenck and Victor Wooten. I specialize in jazz, but can also teach classical, blues, rock, pop, and composition. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
No music in the family, unfortunately. Self taught initially.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I became a professional musician when I realized that there was nothing else that I wanted more in life.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Curiosity and desire are the most important things. It started from acoustic guitar to electric to classical and then to other string instruments such as the Mohan Veena, the Oud, the mandolin and ukulele. Then moved on to percussion.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I cant imagine being anything else
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love playing all styles and genres and that is exactly what makes music exciting for me. The constant variety keeps it constantly interesting. Life would be boring playing just one genre.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I dont have any such desire, If you keep playing according to your limits your limits keep growing and once impossible pieces become much easier. Having said that, I would love to play any of Paco de Lucia's works.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Warm up, scales and arpeggios, Start off with practicing from easier to harder pieces. Mostly a combination of old repertoire and newer things as well. I like to constantly learn new styles and techniques.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelors degree in music theory and composition and a Masters degree in performance of classical guitar. For the Masters degree a performance recital was required for degree completion.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
It depends on the subject matter and style of music being taught. For some kids it works great, for others they don't like the structured approach. I don't insist
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have not had such a privilege yet but I am sure with the right student and dedication, this is entirely possible. It takes a combination of the right student and the right teacher to create the synergy required.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Unlearning all the technique and just make music, and enjoy yourself without thinking about it. After all the years of training, you become a machine and have to become a little human again.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My Masters recital, being part of a World class band, playing jazz with Buddy Collette, writing over two thousand tracks and creating a production music library. Learning audio engineering and music production.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I fell in love with the guitar when I was 10 years old and saw someone playing it. It was the easiest instrument to buy and also to learn with plenty of resources to learn, such as books. It was also the most popular and hippest instrument growing up and did wonders for your social presence.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
He is excited and looking forward to it and that he has some control over small motor movements. He is not being pushed into this activity for any other reason.
When will I start to see results?
Depends on how much time you put into practicing at home. Practicing a little everyday. Enjoying your practice. If you can put in 20 minutes a day, you will see definite progress in a month
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My inspiration was Robert Guthrie. He was extremely proficient at the instrument and could physically execute any passage. He was an immaculate technician and most of all, he was kind and gentle and a great person to be with.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Learn to recognize problematic areas and focus on those problems. Also be able to slow the practice tempo as much as needed for perfect execution. Learn to understand the relationship between mind, body and breath.
