I feel that it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals and assignments for my students at each lesson. This measurable progression of accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. Of course finding out the students problem areas is also paramount to helping them progress at the fastest rate possible. I also believe that while our relationship is professional, I do take a personal interest in each of my students as some of the best teachers I have ever had, took a personal interest in me.

I have been playing guitar for 30 years now. I began performing with various bands at the age of 14.

I began teaching guitar back in 1991, while attending Samford University. I have continued to teach over the years since then, both part-time and full-time. I performed with various bands (of my own and joining with others in) throughout high school and college. Read More

This feel can only be achieved through developing one's sensitivities to pitch and time. Read More

Through setting consistent goals and acknowledging a student's accomplishments I help fuel a student's motivation to play through steady progress. Read More
