I break lessons down into technique, theory, and whatever the student is particularly wanting to learn. I particularly like to pull from the Berklee Press or Musician's Institute books, as they are well received. Read More

I like my students to be able to learn and progress at the rate they can or want to.

I like to tell my students that they will not only be a good player, but know exactly what they are doing. Read More
