Instruments: Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching small private lessons 6 years ago to 2 or 3 students part time in college at Spartanburg Community College. I encourage frequent practice on a regular schedule for all my students, seeing progress helps maintain enjoyment and develop passion for your instrument. I find that introductions into a variety of styles can really go far in developing your own unique sound! Music for me is all about having fun and letting your personality shine through the music you play, if its not fun then Im doing something wrong. Read More

Instruments: Piano

When it comes to working with students, I feel that i am very easy to work with. I try to encourage my students to practice and love to see them progress from week to week. I also understand that learning new things can be frustrating at times, and help them work over the lessons they are having difficulty with. For beginning students I strongly suggest they practice for at least 15 minutes a day, but would prefer they practice 30. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass

I like to talk with my students and / or their parents, and discover what their desired end result is, or their interests.  I then tailor my lesson to meet their needs.  Sometimes, as you are going along in your lessons, you learn more about your student, and can make adjustments.  Depending on age and level, I'll make sure they know everything from proper care and holding of the instrument to theory.  I have many materials to take from, and have worked with such authors as Mel Bay and Bunny Brunel, to name a couple.
