I received a better guitar as a gift in my teens and wanted to learn all I could about the guitar and how to play it.

As far as methods, I do not believe that there is one system that will work for every student, and so I try to find the right combination for each individual.  For piano students I begin with a combination of Alfred and Faber method books, and also teach different scales for technique.  For voice students I try to pick a combination of vocal exercises, classical music and contemporary music based on the student’s unique voice.  Students learn best from music they are passionate about.  What is most important is finding the right songs for each person.

Some people actually made music from their exercises—just ask Bach. :^) Once basic scales and chords are completed, a formal exercise book of Hanon will be introduced to the lessons. Read More
