The most important aspect of pedagogy which, I have learned from my own experience, is that music is best learned through MUSIC! I will always work with the student to find out what they want to play and teach through that style and those pieces; theory and technique are inherent to music from pop to classical and everything in between! I will also work with the student on expanding their own musical horizons and hopefully discover new music together with them Read More

Teaching has been one of my passions since I've been playing music. It started with teaching friends how to play Metallica songs as a teenager, and has evolved into teaching my students how to write and perform their own music.

As a teacher I strive to give my students their best guide to success, knowing that every student has their own individual needs and ambitions. I like to start beginning students on Pearson's Standard of Excellence books and then broadening out to other methods after they get a good grasp of the basic elements of their instrument. More advanced players will be taught aspects of music theory and how to become more of a complete musician rather than just being a good player. Read More

That's the basis for songwriting, composition, learning new songs quickly and improvisation. This process truly demystifies music no matter what instruments you'd like to play. I also employ ear training via the solfege system (moveable Do) to help folks who want to be able to identify things by ear and improvise more fluently. Read More
