Generally my students select their own repertoire, and I use that music to teach lessons about theory and composition, while trying to sneak in some improvisation as a confidence and skills builder. Read More

Open to letting the student direct his own course study. I would suggest trying to learn complete songs so you don't just learn 10 seconds of a million different things. You will be making music, instead of mimicking solos....... I am here to guide and talk guitars, song structure, theory - I will teach you as much as I know and am continuing to learn, just fun music banter, what are you listening to, what are your favorites, what I am listening to.....

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Clarinet Drums

I am committed to a lifetime of growth in both the performance and education of music, and have been for qute some time. It all started, I suppose, in high school when I was fortunate enough to be a participant in a very high quality program. I am primarily a jazz saxophonist, but my interests do not end there. Alongside my unremitting passion for the jazz saxophone, I began teaching myself guitar and piano (in high school) and drums and voice not long after. Read More

My methods are tailored to the exact, specific needs of the individual student. I frequently check in with my students to make sure all of their questions are being answered, everything makes sense and, most importantly, they are having fun while learning their instrument.

I break down the seemingly colossal task of deciphering the guitar and present it in easy to digest, understandable lessons that not only inspire my students to practice but constantly engage and inspire my students to grow and to ask questions which leads to further knowledge.

I started teaching in College after seeing the benifit from teaching Music Education Students brass Technique. I feel the best teachers are constantly putting themselves into situations where they are students. I am always taking classes and learning new things in and around music.

Instruments: Guitar

I have recently started teaching in the last year on zoom and in person. A lot of my gigging and recording experience I have been able to incorporate in to my students lessons. I think one of the most important aspects of teaching music is how to learn. Every student learns differently. Knowing if they learn well by sheet music, by ear, or just working on technique. I enjoy teaching, putting students on the right track with what they want to learn, with the fundamentals of guitar in the beginning and that they enjoy it as well. Read More
