Instruments: Guitar Classical Guitar

I consider my role as an instructor as one where I give the students information that they can't (or at least it would be very difficult) to learn on their own. I focus a lot on proper technique and reading notation for the guitar. I believe that the sooner a student no longer needs me to learn new pieces and grow artistically, the better I have done my job. My ultimate goal is to foster a deep love and appreciation for music, because I believe that at least in a small way this makes our world a better place. Read More

The methods have to suit the child and vice versa. I like to began all students by really getting to know their (and their parents') ability, history, desires, needs, wants, ect. I like to base my teaching pedagogy purely around the child, the family, and their learning skills. Everybody is different and it's my job to explore all avenues that the student wants to accomplish in their musical experience. I have taken classes and studied Kodaly, Suzuki, and various other psychological approaches to education. Read More

I have performed concerts in Vienna, Salzburg, Prague, throughout Italy, and in many locations across the United States. Read More

My style is closer to the Russian style than to the American style. This tends to involve more discipline, an emphasis on focus and concentration, and a more direct communicative approach. I don't usually mince words, although I am very supportive and gentle. My students seldom suffer self-confidence problems, because we are always too concerned with improving ourselves. We identify and focus on the task at hand. This is not for everyone, but for those that prefer this style, there is no substitute. Read More

I enjoy seeing my students grow and I understand that patience is the key to success. I move at the pace of the student and I love to motivate my students to be great. Everybody learns differently and I take notice of that. I will run my lessons based on the student's strength and effectively develop the students weaknesses. I am fun to work with! Read More

I'm a passionate and dedicated guitar instructor who loves working with students and sharing my enthusiasm for music. Ive been playing guitar for over ten years, focusing primarily on J-pop music, which has been a huge source of inspiration for me. My formal training includes being part of IVCs guitar ensemble, where Ive had the opportunity to perform with talented musicians and refine my skills in a collaborative setting. Teaching guitar began as a way to give back to my church community, and since then, Ive enjoyed helping students of all ages develop their own love for music. Read More

I began teaching lessons in 2009 and have had the pleasure of teaching various ages of students from young to older adult. I have seen many of my younger students excel in their band programs, thus making their overall musical experience much more fun and enjoyable. I've also helped older students who never had the opportunity to play an istrument begin their musical journey by teaching them the fundamentals of music and the instrument. Read More
