We do this- music- to enrich our lives, make us more intelligent and give us inspiration, and this in turn gives other people beauty and inspiration.

I have been teaching guitar in the greater Milwaukee area for 16 years and have had hundreds of students.

It is normally a combination of internet information and my personal compositions. For voice, I use no specific published method course. Read More

So far, I've taught some kids and adults.  I've learned that teaching kids versus teaching adult students is different. Each age group would require their own tasks.

Then, I would create games or exercises based on the new stuff we'd cover.  For an adult student, I wouldn't use any games on them. Read More
