My teaching style revolves around the interest of the student combined with my overall experience with one ultimate goal being that the student will develop the tools to teach themselves along the way. I like to use relevant recordings to play along with as well as simply recording the student and playing it back during the lesson.

Getting my students to understand how consistency is much more important than anything else when it comes to practice is the first thing I strive for.
