I approach teaching by making sure students are at ease. This has to be fun, yet disciplined. Understanding that you have to set goals for yourself beyond personal lessons is crucial. Praising students during lessons is a must! Build self esteem. Everything is at YOUR pace. I knew that I loved teaching when I encountered my first few students. My friends wouldn't describe me as the most patient person, but when I'm connecting to students through music, it's as if I could spend endless hours explaining nuances. Read More

For beginning students I always begin with a methods book, I believe that good fundamentals are what makes a good musician, but I also teach ear training methods thereby giving the student the best in both worlds.

I believe finding a students passion and making the learning experience as educational and enjoyable as possible. Read More

Music is my calling in life. My career in teaching started 30 + years ago and it has truly been a pleasure to see my students light up when they learn the songs they love. I started by offering private lessons in 1992 and soon had many requests from other students. I offer lessons for both electric and acoustic guitar as well as piano. Along with instrumental lessons, I teach music theory workshops for song-writers and music engineering workshops for musicians. Read More

I began teaching as a teenager when I was in Ann Arbor's psychedelic rock band SPROTON LAYER. I have taught friends and family off and on for many years. During the economic crash in 2009, I took a course on Teaching to understand different age groups and varied approaches in learning. Since then, I have taught steadily and found it very rewarding. One of the hardest things to get across to the Student is that the single most important thing to do is Play. Read More

I have taught guitar and voice lessons periodically for the past 15 years. I've never had more than 3 students at a time and it was more of a side gig for friends, family, and attenders of the churches I worked at. Many of my students learn how to play quickly and proficiently. I have even had a few students go on to play music professionally. I'm excited to focus more of my time on helping others develop their passions for music. Read More
