I start beginning students that are interested in learning to play guitar with rhythm for the strumming hand. I will then move on to the fretting hand to finger positioning as well as learning the notes (on the guitar fingerboard) as heard at concert pitch. Music theory will be taught as applied to the guitar. I do not use any published books for teaching but prefer to develop my own lessons plans customized to each students interest and ability.

I typically start teaching students with very basic chords and very simple songs. I usually feel satisfied if the student is able to pick up on a simple song by the end of the first lesson and learning songs is the best way to learn guitar in my opinion. I usually will work with the student on what music they like and what they want to learn then we can sit and learn it together. Read More

My teaching style is unique because it revolves around having fun with music. I believe that more traditional forms of teaching can be too dull or too urgent, leading to disinterest.

Learning to play an instrument is one of the most fulfilling accomplishments that a person can achieve, no matter the age or skill level. Read More

Breaking larger objectives into smaller, manageable steps allows students to experience regular success, which builds momentum and reinforces the value of consistent practice. I make it a point to revisit these goals frequently, celebrating progress while adjusting expectations as needed to ensure continued growth. Acknowledging accomplishments is a vital part of my teaching philosophy. Even small achievements can have a powerful impact on a student’s motivation and self-esteem. By recognizing effort as well as results, I help students understand that progress is a process and that persistence is just as important as natural ability. Read More
