I am very big on rewards programs and keeping students excited about what they are playing. This required reasonable, achievable goals that still push the student to go beyond their comfort level. Positive reinforcement is so important, especially with early players and when we hit walls in our growth. Seeing exactly where a student is at and understanding the encouragement they need is what makes a good teacher. Read More

My teaching style is completely based around being down to earth with the student and to make sure that they are comfortable with the learning process.

I like to think I'm a laid-back kind of guy, though I can get loud and boisterous sometimes when a student figures something hard out. I wonder sometimes if I don't get more excited about a student's breakthrough than he does! My wife sometimes tells me I have no "indoor voice," lol.

I like to understand a student on a musical level, thus letting their ability level and their drive push me in the direction most useful for the student's success.

I gain from my students' accomplishments a sense of pride, which makes me work just as hard for my students as they do for me. Read More
