I am fairly new to professional teaching. I've been giving very occasional, informal lessons to friends for at least 5 years now. However, I am passionate about moving forward as a teacher, and sharing my twin loves of music and learning with students at any level of ability. In my past informal lessons, I have taught left- and right-hand guitar technique; fretboard logic; scales and scale patterns; chord-voicings (and how to develop your own); harmony; melody; modal theory; and repertoire, including such songs as the jazz standard "All Of Me", and Red Hot Chili Peppers "Can't Stop".

I have used Hal Leonard's Essential Elements to kickstart lessons for beginners. Once the student has a handle on the foundations we build upon that.

My students are encouraged to love what they love, and be stoked on expanding their musical skill set. Read More
