My philosophy about teaching music to a student is to be original and musical as possible in order that the foundation of pure music inspiration and creativity is attained. My number one goal is that the student is completely happy with what he or she is learning and I strive to keep learning fun and at their own pace. I encourage the guitar student to inspire themselves by writing their own melody and develop a harmony over that melody. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music. It is so important that each individual student progresses at his or her own ace.

Once I find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction towards the wants and needs of my students. Read More

It's all about having a clear goal in mind and working towards it: we'll have conversations about objectives and musical preferences (classical? jazz? rock and pop?) and then develop goals based on those preferences (playing live? what kind of pieces/songs?).
