I work with the student to learn what they are interested in learning. All my students learn to read traditional notation as well as tablature. I like method books like Hal Leonard , especially for the complete beginner - but  I supplement with other repertoire I have found throughout the years. I encourage beginning with a nylon string guitar because it is easier on the fingers! I incorporate music theory in all of my teaching. Read More

My teaching experience goes all the way back to when I was in high school eight years ago. I began playing guitar at the early age of 5 so I had a lot of practice and experience by that time. I always try to encourage my students to let me know what their goals are for playing guitar so we can base their lessons around that. I have taught students of all ages from 5 years old to 60 and older. Read More

I love to spend time with my students listening to some of their personal playlists and picking out songs from there for them to work on. Once I understand a student's taste, I love to show them other artists they may like and help expose them to new music. I try to balance the lessons with this type of work and more structured technical skill development. Music should be fun, exciting, and stimulating. Read More

My job is to bring out talents that my students did not know they had, to develop their awareness of the elements of music performance, and to lead them to discover and expand their musical taste by introducing them to different styles of music, such as Jazz, Classical, and Rock. And if they already possess a measure of musical ability and taste, I advice them and encourage them to develop it to the fullest. Read More

I teach strong instrumental fundamentals, along with music theory comprehension, sight-reading, and ear training. I also like to emphasize ensemble playing using instrumental duets. I use appropriate level texts based on the student's experience first and age level second but always teach from what will make either younger students or adults feel comfortable. Fun is a must in one's progression but focus is key to success. I've helped students win concerto and ensemble awards and have also brought adults into the professional-level playing world through lessons. Read More
