The most important first step is to have a conversation about what the student's goals are. Together we can come up with a game plan to achieve these goals! For beginning students, we will start by working through a beginner's method book, but I will supplement with my own materials. My first priority is to get the student playing music that they enjoy as early as possible! I will come prepared to every lesson with an individualized lesson plan, assignments, music that are tailored to each student's goals! Read More

Most of my lesson plans are customized for each student, depending the style they are interested in, and the level that they are already playing.

My teaching experience dates back to my High School years, as I began teaching private lessons part time 10 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students throughout my life for the last 10 years. I encourage regular practice on a consistent schedule, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that getting my beginner students learning the songs they want to learn can go a long way in helping students enjoy the guitar and motivate them to practice and continue to learn.
