I love teaching and, as your teacher, I don't need anything from you other than an open mind. I don't need you to prove yourself to me at all, and I want you to improve for yourself. I'm here as a resource to help you achieve your goals, whatever they are. If I do my job well, every student becomes their own teacher, developing a critical ear and knowing how to fix their own problems when they arise. Read More

For beginners I usually start with a simple melody or riff. I love teaching Painting Black by The Rolling Stones because it is simple to play. Not only that, but it's a song that's easy to identify for most people's ear. I usually take my time allowing the student to learn. One or a few hours are enough to start learning the song. Once I leave, the student's homework is practice as often as possible in order to get some fluency on the instrument. Read More

I know that this relevance is what keeps students interested and playing their instruments in the long term, whether recreationally or professionally. Read More
