I believe that a degree of flexibility should always be present within the learning environment. I generally try to understand and establish mutual expectations to ensure that my students are getting the best education possible. I also believe firmly in many of the tried and true methods of musical instruction. This instruction generally includes learning topics such as music theory, improvisation, scale to chord relationships, rhythm, playing technique, composition strategies, pieces of interest, reading notation and/or tabs, and many other pertinent aspects of music.

Taking lessons with Damon Carlucci, I learned how to delve into genres for music knowledge. Here I also learned Jazz and what it meant to be a Jazz musician. Ever since then, I have been using what I have learned to see the notes I want to play on the fretboard and adapt it to whatever setting, feeling or group I am playing in.

When I was growing up, one of my favorite memories is listening to my grandfather play bluegrass on his guitar and banjo. He gave me my first guitar at age 12 and started to show me chords and patterns to play. But it was when I first heard led Zepplin's black dog opening riff that I knew I wanted to rock.

My favorite part about teaching is teaching beginners. It's so much fun to introduce a brand new instrument to someone and show them all that learning music has to offer. I mainly focus on the basics of music, and music theory in order to give students the tools they need to teach themselves when I'm not around, or if lessons have to discontinue for some reason. Once the basics of music theory have been grasped, it makes learning the technical aspects of the new instrument much faster, and easier. Read More
