I discuss with you what you want to achieve; playing your favorite songs, writing your own, improvising, playing with others, etc. and then we build a plan to develop the supporting skills to accomplish this goal. I focus on imparting clear instruction and advice, paying close attention to what is or isn't working for you to help you refine and improve your playing. Together we'll ensure you understand the fretboard up and down, filling in any gaps in knowledge and connecting all of the dots until you feel confident moving around it. Read More

My teaching methods are always tailored to each individual student. With that said, for beginning and/or younger students, I typically start with the fundamentals of the guitar/piano, and begin the initial development of dexterity by reinforcing the fundamentals through teaching songs that the student picks themselves. As the student's ability progresses, I then start relating those primal concepts to the foundation of more advanced concepts that soon give the student the freedom to play whatever they want, however they want.

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar
With younger students and those new to their instrument, I start with the basics, laying out simple chords, scales, and arpeggios, showing them how they are used in their favorite songs. Once an understanding of these concepts is reached I move on to how to incorporate them in real-time, and show the student how incorporate these ideas using their own unique voice. For more advanced students, I strike a balance between practical technical knowledge of the instrument and the music theory that drives the decisions their favorite artists make. Read More
