My fondest memories are listening to Acoustic Alchemy with my mother as we drove to elementary school, and my dad playing the Grateful Dead on our way to the mountains to ski. I became interested in playing guitar at 13 and got serious by 16.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Students are able to select their own music and share their interests with me. Read More
