Intermediates are also responsible for learning to play the entirety of the guitar neck, so practicing in all positions becomes a focus. "Theory, Technique and Application" sums up the process. Students should be learning the concepts and structure of music (theory), developing various techniques to enhance their abilities and then applying them to music they wish to learn about. I also prioritize creative projects for students to apply what they learn into their own original songs. Read More

I believe that motivation begins with excitement and there is no better way to help a student stick to a practice routine than teaching him or her to play their favorite songs. Of course, a knowledge of music theory is very important, but I always make sure that we don't get bogged down in minutia, and that each student is allowed to proceed at his or her own pace. A practical and usable knowledge of music's fundamentals is employed to get results and keep the student motivated and actively learning. Read More

I tailor my instruction to the students wants, needs and abilities. It's a creative environment every week and I try to make it fun and rewarding.

My own musical journey began as early as I can remember spending hours experimenting with toy pianos in my room. At 5 yrs old, in kindergarten the enchanting sound of piano caught my attention in a school performance by Jose Norman, a magical performer, and composer for Desi Arnaz, composer of the song Cuban Pete. I was drawn to the expressive nature of the piano, and its ability to convey emotions without words. Read More

For all students I access what your musical background is and what may be lacking from your knowledge and playing. I also ask what your particular goals and things you would like to learn are.
