For bass, I typically teach out of the Suzuki book series, while as for guitar, I use the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements, however, I am happy to teach whatever method a student or their parents feel strongly about.

My teaching style is extremely student centered. I help my students find the music that they love, and I help them play it musically.
