As alluded to earlier, we'll work out of some books, but I just copy and print the pages we need so there's no need to spend extra cash. Read More

No two students are exactly alike. Studies have proven that we all interpret colors differently, and it is the same for music and how we learn it.

My teaching methods are centered around a structured approach that respects each student's individuality, goals, and learning styles. I have developed a comprehensive guitar learning resource, which I continuously update. This resource is organized into a 1-10 level system, with each level presenting increasingly advanced material. This progression ensures that students are always learning something new and making connections to previously acquired knowledge. Each level includes professionally crafted sheet music and tablature, technical exercises, songs, images, and charts, as well as backing tracksboth guitar-only and full band trackscreated by me.

I start beginning students with both a method book and a blank manuscript which we use to journal weekly. The method book is to instill a variety of fundamental skills while the manuscript (or materials saved and shared in google drive) is used to be a fun way of focussing and developing each student's individual trajectory. More advanced students may or may not require a method book per se but may be referenced to a variety of sources dependent on their current level of development. Read More
