I use Alfreds guitar method books for guitar and bass.  Piano I use the Bastian and others.  I teach from both my song books, and by thier cd or audio tracks.  I teach each student individually and move them forward to performance level. I teach how to read music and music ear training.  Theory training is also available at lessons as needed. Once I get the student past the basics on to intermediate level, I can listen to cd or audio recordings and reproduce the instrumental part on the spot. Read More

However, after 2 years of tutoring, I was accepted into law school in New York, which was outside the geographic scope of the tutoring company I worked for. Around the same time as beginning my tenure as a tutor, I auditioned for my very first professional band (Vesper), and was selected, among 6 interested guitarists, to proceed as their newest member. Throughout the next 2 years, until moving to NY for law school, the majority of my extracirricular time was spent tutoring students, and practicing / playing shows with Vesper. Read More
