For beginners I start teaching basic chords and chord patterns to generate interest for the student. Then I use the Hal Leonard Guitar method to teach the fundamentals of reading music, music theory, etc. Then as the student grasps these simple tools I teach songs to reinforce how chord patterns work and finally move to the type of music the student is interested in. For intermediate and advanced students I find out the level of competance the student currently has and tailor a program based on the needs of each student. Read More

My methods are not standard, I believe in teaching technical sides of an instrument and the creative sides.

Finding inspiration through practice and jamming with a friend or even a teacher is something I want to teach. Read More
