I base my every teaching style according to what the individual student needs . Teaching a class of 60 students is much different than a one on one class.

Conversely, students who lack conviction and confidence need to listen to classic recordings to gain inspiration , drive. Read More

I have been an enthusiastic guitar player for 15 years, and an instructor for guitar and bass for 10 years. I began teaching music in 2002, my senior year of high school, to begin making extra money for school. In the past, I have kept a steady repertoire of 3-6 guitar students, but I'm ready for more. My work experience extends beyond music into the field of Pediatrics and occasionally Geriatrics -- I love dealing with people of all ages. Read More
