I do like cover a lot of ground in my teaching. This is why we learn everything from to read, write music, harmony, rudiments or scales, warmup exercises, music theory, playing songs, improvising, and more!!! I use multiple books, techniques and resources acquired both through Berklee College of Music as well as others I've studied along the way. I always try to customize classes to the student's primary needs (learn songs, play in a band, learn music, etc). Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Violin, Cello, Viola, Fiddle, Double Bass, Music, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

For violin, viola, cello and bass, I teach the Suzuki method. The Suzuki method is based strongly on memory and takes a systematic approach to introducing music of increasing difficulty. For classical guitar, I start off with the Frederick Noad system, "Solo Guitar Playing", and scales. As skill level increases, I assign more etudes and standard guitar repertoire. For acoustic guitar, I teach almost exclusively finger-picking. I teach the same high standard skills for acoustic guitar that I teach for classical, but concentrate on masterpieces of the repertoire. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

For children, I draw influence from the organization of the Suzuki method, while still maintaining the emphasis on fun. (Learning TV theme songs, etc) Fundamentals are introduced with memorable examples tailored to the students musical interests. For all other levels of experience, I encourage the student to share with me what exactly it is that they want to learn or need help with. If the student has no idea, I will take over and decide what is missing from the students repetoire, and find the most effective way of tackling these new skills while maintaining fun.

My first teaching was in summer music schools, then as an intermediate classroom teacher and music specialist (bands, choirs, musicals, folk dances, recorder, ukulele, classroom music and theory). I earned my Masters and began teaching university but have always taught privately as well. I work with parents to encourage the student to be self-motivated, so I make lessons fun. Students want to practice because they enjoy the progress they are making and look forward to lessons. Read More
