My teaching style combines different elements. I try to keep it fresh and work on music that the student enjoys. I will work on songs but also larger concepts including ear training, improvisation, reading, and chord knowledge/ theory.

While attending NCC I fell in love with classical guitar music, not only because it is beautiful but because it is very challenging. Read More
