I work with Rubank or any method books provided by their band instructor. There will be supplemental materials, especially for more advanced students, that are instrument specific such as etudes and technical exercises.

While there are some general methods, it is best to meet the student where their needs are and tailor the specific methods to those needs. Read More

My career as a teacher began 14 years ago, at the age of 14, giving guitar lessons to my friends and classmates around town. Since then I have continued to teach guitar, music theory, and ear-training to beginning and intermediate musicians of all ages and backgrounds.
