Instruments: Piano, Guitar

For piano students: I typically like to use the Faber and Faber Piano Adventure lesson series with beginning and early-intermediate students. During the first lesson I provide to the student, I like to assess the ability level of the individual student to determine the book I believe it is most appropriate in which to begin. Typically, if a student is a beginner, I will start with the "My First Piano Adventure" with students aged 4-6 years of age, the "Basic Piano Adventures" series with students aged 7-9 years of age, the "Accelerated Piano Adventures" series with students aged 11-15 years of age, and the "Adult Piano Adventures" series with students aged 16+.

I started teaching guitar in 1975 as I was already a performer who could read music, sing, and play by ear, which is invaluable as a band member. As a guitarist/singer I performed solo as well as playing bass in a soul band, then a country-rock band and eventually performing and recording four albums with an original band. We had radio play on local/regional stations and I received royalties as a BMI songwriter. Read More
