For Bass and Guitar students I have written a progressive theory "test" which does 2 things - it tells me what the student knows and it serves as a guide in future lessons. Some theory instruction goes along with whatever playing instruction the student is working on.

My teaching expereince started in my senior year of High School teaching three seperate students beginning level guitar playing. I maintained these three students for the entire year before I left to attend college. One of the most rewarding experiences is seeing a technique or a song finally click with a student and watching their eyes light up with excitement and wonder towards the new doors they have just opened through hard work and dedication.

My teaching experience began during my undergraduate studies. Instructing privately, I developed exposure teaching classical, electric, and acoustic musical styles. During my assistantship at the Lamont School of music, my teaching resided primarily toward college students. However, I am truly passionate towards working with students of all ages. I fully welcome the new challenges each experience presents. I believe every teacher should recall this wisdom from guitarist Andres Segovia: "To teach is to learn twice." Read More
