For students who already have a few lessons under their belt or have some self taught experience, usually my first step is to identify what conceptual gaps in their fundamental knowledge they might have so that they can very quickly explore the guitar more intentionally on their own in-between lessons. We often start with a song they've been listening to, and begin to break down what make chords and chord progressions sound the way that they do, so it's very easy to apply them in other situations.

I follow the interests of the student and allow that to guide the direction of our study. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. This approach yields better results than forcing a student to stick to a certain method exclusively. I encourage students to divide their practice time into practicing fundamentals and technique, songs that teach them a certain concept or technique, and songs that they would like to perform or play for fun.

For beginning folk/pop guitar students I use the Hal Leonard Guitar Method. For Classical guitar I use a combination of various resources, including Segovia scales, Sor studies, Guilianni right-hand studies and Frederick Noad method books. I definitely encourage students to work towards performance of the music they are working on, and try to schedule recital/performance opportunities as students deveope and gain mastery over their material. I always try to maintain a healthy balance between keeping the student working on music that challenges them,and advances their technique, with the need to have fun and enjoy the playing of a musical instrument as a means of entertainment and relaxation.

I am enthusiastic about teaching others both how to play and understand the art of music.

Since graduating, performing professionally has been a wonderful experience and tantamount to my ongoing growth as a musician. Read More
