I have used many different methods over the years and will supplement any method book to meet the individual needs of the student. My preferred method for young students is the FJH Harris Young Beginner's Guitar Method series. For older students I tend to use either Mel Bay or Hal Leonard methods to teach the fundamentals and then add onto them with whatever suits the student best. For advanced students I prefer the William Leavitt methods from Berklee University Press, which will be a challenge for anyone! Read More

I want to develop confidence in ourselves and a comfortability that makes us eventually not afraid to be goofy on stage or even by ourselves! Read More

Having taught students of all ages and skill levels I create a curriculum with the student that suits their goals and the practice schedule they are able to commit too. A part of my method is working with the student to create a practice schedule and plan so they can benefit as much as possible from their practice. I like to use music that the student is interested in playing to practice fundamentals while working on the repertoire they enjoy. Read More
