Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I like to think of my teaching styles and methods as very practical yet very encouraging and nurturing. The best way to ingrain a new concept or idea I have found is to teach someone a practical way in how to use it, usually through learning a new song or exercise which expands their horizons and outlook on things. Nothing invigorates me more than to see students get excited when they finally understand or grasp something I have taught them. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice shouldn't feel like mindless work; Practice should be INTENTIONAL! How can your grow today? What should you work on today to be a better guitar player next week? Next month? Next year? Additionally, I try to learn a new song, lick, or concept every day to keep my practice sessions fresh and exciting.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any time is a good time, especially if your child is showing interest in music.

When will I start to see results?
Results will vary between students. Each student has unique personality as well as a unique level of interest in guitar. Students that are truly enjoying playing the instrument should expect results much quicker than students that are only somewhat interested.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did not have a direct teacher that inspired me to pursue music. In general, I had always known that I wanted to pursue music professionally. Ultimately, I was inspired to choose it as a career after reading about various celebrities/athletes that had given their all to pursue their passions.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I simply love guitar! I've always been a fan of classic rock! I am a huge Slash/Guns N Roses fan.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
This year alone (my first year pursuing music as a career), I've played 84 gigs, including: -Opening for national country artists like Brantley Gilbert and Billy Ray Cyrus -Weddings, private business events, festivals -B93 Birthday Bash -Brantley Gilbert's Kick It In The Sticks cruise ship

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Creating a successful practice routine. There are so many techniques on guitar and a million different videos on YouTube telling you what your "should" be practicing. The reality is that you start by practicing what you are interested in. Things such as scale shapes and new chords are practical tools that should AID you in your practice routine, but shouldn't be the base of your routine. Running scales for 3 straight hours may improve your dexterity with scales, but will not teach you the practical skills for playing within a band setting.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I generally practice for 3 hours a day, breaking it into 3 portions: New Material, Improving Material, Songs. I'll spend my first hour learning licks or a new song. For me, this is a great way to warm up and get excited for practicing. The next hour, I'll work on difficult solos/passages. I typically won't spend more than 10 minutes working on one specific solo/passage. Finally, I'll spend an hour running some of the songs from my setlists. I have about 60 songs between each band that I try to keep "in-shape" for weekly live performances.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
