In college I studied pedagogies (teaching methods) for band, orchestra and majored in vocal and classroom education.

There is nothing more fulfilling that seeing my students become passionate about the guitar. I love seeing the weekly improvements and satisfaction they receive when learning a new skill. I understand each student is different and learns at their own pace but that doesn't mean I won't still motivate them to improve. I know from experience how important everyday practice can be. I always use positive reinforcement with my students but will also provide feedback on areas that need improving. Read More

My main philosophy is that every student is different and should be treated accordingly. The methods I use are specifically tailored to each student and can be methods that I have learned or developed myself.

The key to my teaching method is that I ask difficult questions and then I give the student time to think and develop an answer. Read More

I use videos or audio recordings to supplement my lessons to help the student practice during the week when i'm not around. Read More
