Instruments: Guitar Voice
I have designed curriculums that work in phases according to the skill level of the student. In the beginning stages the curriculum is designed primarily based around the music theory required for playing the instrument at a high level. The lessons bounce back and forth between theory introduction and theory application. This continues throughout the beginning lessons, going from method to method accordingly. In the later stages I teach the student techniques and methods to improve form, speed, and overall functionality. Read More

I'm a teacher at heart and I always have something new and exciting to give to others in the form of information or skill. I've been teaching professionally for over 10 years and I love every single minute of it. I have worked in two Texas Independent School Districts and I have worked with a wide variety of age groups and subjects, not just music. I occasionally play live shows on the weekends with my band and I can play four other instruments besides the guitar. Read More

I use methods from the Berkeley School of Music and years of studying with private teachers. I will begin with the essentials of learning guitar, learn how to sit and hold the guitar, tune the guitar and play your first melodies! Learn how to read guitar tablature. learning to play single notes, beginner guitar chords, 4 essential strumming patterns, changing chords etc. After the basics are mastered we will move through playing lead guitar to improvising with C-A-G-E-D theory and playing advanced lead guitar licks.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student develop a true passion for music. I believe every student should grow at their own pace, so I set realistic, achievable goals at each lesson to support steady and enjoyable progress. Celebrating accomplishmentsbig or smallhelps boost confidence and fuels their desire to learn more. I take time to understand what inspires each student so I can tailor my instruction to their individual needs, interests, and learning style. Read More

I don't have just ONE method...because every student has different likes, and different goals, they need personalized lessons. Some enjoy music theory, others prefer to just learn a more basic approach. Since I learned formally (in school/lessons) and informally (by ear, self-taught and playing onstage), I can give students whichever method suits their goals, with as much or as little theory as they are comfortable with. I specialize in playing by ear, which is essential for students who want to play onstage or make music with others, without worrying about sheet music. Read More

My teaching approach: I possess a thorough knowledge of the instrument. Focus on proper technique for all students, regardless of his/her playing ability. Once proper technique is established, I utilize the Berklee Series as a basis for instruction. These volumes are supplemented by exercises, which I write specifically for the particular student’s needs. As the student progresses, I incorporate tunes that the student wishes to learn into the lesson plan.My guitar lessons take place in: Either locationGuitar Techniques: Lead guitar, Rhythm guitar, Open tuning, Fingerpicking, Slide Guitar, Performance, Improvisation, Jamming Skills, Reading Music, Music Theory, Scales and Exercises, Song Writing, Guidance In Equipment Selection Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
When I was in high school I had a teacher who was around 70 years old. He has since passed away, but his wisdom and advice constantly lives on in my practicing, teaching, and performances. He was the first person to genuinely believe in me. He actively encouraged me to pursue music. Without him, I don't think I would have had the courage to even attempt it. I only studied with him for a few short years, but he was by far the most influential teacher I have ever had. He had so many fun and amazing anecdotes that he always shared, taught me how to practice effectively, and corrected a lot of bad habits I had formed with previous teachers-and in so doing helped me understand the importance of playing in a healthy way. He was always so kind and sincere. He called us all his kids, and even encouraged me to refer to him affectionately as my grandfather, telling me the name his grandkids used for him and that I could call him that if I wanted. He was also quite blunt when it came to making corrections during lessons, and enforced me being completely honest with myself about my playing. "You can lie to anyone else," he would quip, "but never lie to yourself." That wisdom helped me to progress so much. Throughout the years I have included so many of his examples, analogies, and sayings into my teaching...one that always made me laugh was "rhythm is like the bones in your body-without it you're just a blob on the floor!" I learned a lot about the world of music through him, and seeing it through his eyes was always so much fun. He is always in the back of my mind when I'm teaching, and I am constantly striving to meet the high expectations and jovial spirit of the music he instilled in me.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice slowly and thoughtfully. My favorite teacher from high school used to always tell me "Practice smarter, not harder!" I love using practice journals to figure out practice trends and get to the bottom of recurring mistakes. Recording yourself is another great tool to use. And of course using a metronome is always extremely important.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When they get super excited about music! The year I started taking violin lessons I literally begged my parents to let me learn. I was always a quiet child, and never asked for much...so when I told them all I wanted for Christmas was a violin and lessons they realized how badly I wanted to learn. My advice is to always have music on in the background. Allow them to ask questions and encourage them to express themselves. When they are ready to start lessons they will let you know! :)
When will I start to see results?
What a great question! It's different for everyone. I find that with my students it can be a bit slow at the beginning. I want to make sure they are set up for success in the future, so I am pretty detail oriented about things like posture, eliminating tension, and producing a beautiful sound. Once those things are happening I find that my students tend to progress pretty quickly. In general I dislike making comparisons and blanket statements, so I won't hazard a guess with specific numbers (again, every student is unique!), but if you are dedicated and determined enough to get the basics down first then you will ultimately be able to progress much more rapidly and will have a much more gratifying experience with music.
