My lessons can be catered to fit the style of music the student wishes to pursue, whether it be rock, jazz, heavy metal, classical, pop, etc. I work with students to find out what kind of music they are interested in pursuing and what their goals are. I focus on starting to play music quickly, and the student learns the theory and technique as we go. I am happy to help the student learn the particular aspects of music they wish to learn, whether it be improvisation, sight reading, theory, etc. Read More

I gear the lesson to you using whatever methods that may work for you. We can learn to read music and there are at least a few different method boods for that. We can use tabs and or play along with recordings as a method of study. We can learn music theory. We can study a particular style that appeals to you. I have a system that I like to use that will teach you every note on the neck of the guitar. Read More

It is my desire to see students reach their goals by giving them a solid technical base upon which they can build their personal sound! I find that once the basics are down, it is so much fun to start to incorporate the student's specific desires (wanting to learn classical or pop). THAT is what makes practice so much fun. When you are passionate about what you are doing, you can't help but pick up your instrument and practice! Read More

Lately I've been teaching my little brother piano playing on the side when I go over to my parent's house, he is really enthusiastic about playing for me and asks many questions while aptly listening to me. I also help out a couple of my friends that either used to play the piano or are just interested in the instrument and need a primer to get them going. I really enjoy when I can make others passionate about something I love by my example and that is why teaching is so wonderful. Read More
