My teaching style is more hands on approach, I have a lot of opportunities for my students to perform. I believe that actually playing the instrument will make them better players and performers. Even when a student sign up for private lessons, I have opportunities for them to perform in groups. I think that students learn better when they have the chance to perform in a group. I also hold master classes for the students to learn from. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

In teaching my students, I prefer to teach them to "play by ear", because when they learn chords and songs, they are usually able to play a snog by memory after hearing it a time or two. I not only show them the chords, fret board, how to hold the guitar properly, how to tune the guitar; etc. but, I also issue them handouts of guitar chord illustrations, fret board charts, and chord changes with words to songs for them to practice on between lessons.

My teaching style is just like most I think. I don't rush with the students. Always trying to go slow and make sure the students understands everything.

It's easy to talk to fast and rush as a teacher because I've taught so many students. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

I got my first guitar in the summer of 2001 and found the guitar was a great hobby when I was bored and couldn't find anything else to do. My passion for the guitar grew exponentially when I started getting better at it. I recieved only a few lessons from private intructors before I went to college and learn how to 'really' play the guitar. Two summers ago I had my first students and it was great to be on the other side as an instructor. Read More

For more advanced players and singers, I want to encourage practice and therefore, help the students find songs/repertoire that they are very interested in playing/performing. We make a goal to play a certain piece for a specific recital date and they are more motivated to practice! I have a Star Student Award each week for my studio for students are really doing a fantastic job with practice and making progress. Read More
