For beginning students, I emphasize fundamentals, including technique, sound quality, and reading. With children, I like to start with method books such as Essential Elements or the John Thompson series for piano.

Not every student learns the same way. Read More

It became a known fact when I was in college that I was a guitar player, and many people admired my skill. Some of my fellow Florida Southern Moccasins went so far as to request teaching straight from myself. I personally enjoy listening to and playing a wide variety of different kinds of music. From 60s classic rock to modern pop music, Stevie Ray Vaughan to Cage the Elephant, and even showtunes and Hip-Hop/Rap grooves, I hope to have something to offer to everyone. Read More
