As a member of an indie rock band, I understand the importance of being able to play songs on your instrument as quickly as possible! With this in mind, my lesson plan focuses primarily on breaking down songs that we want to learn how to play into their fundamental parts; the chords, the grooves, the fills, what-have-you, until we can put it all together. If there's a song that's particularly difficult and requires sound fundamentals, then we'll pound out those skills until we can get the results we want. Read More

Finally, I encourage my students to perform in public, so they can build their confidence and realize the great outcome of their hard work. Read More

I feel that I will be able to apply these skills to the teaching experience and perhaps grow as an idividual. Read More
