I gave my first guitar lessons when I was in college, teaching a young teenage boy. From that point on, I realized how cool it was to see someone go from beginner to intermediate under my clock. It was inspiring. And I've taught people in a wide range of ages, from that young boy to a college student to a 30-something woman via online lessons. So no matter what age you are or how you want to take lessons, I can teach you. Really, what drives me as a teacher is seeing others find their passion for music!

I use the song-by-song method: I have my students choose a number of songs they want to learn, and I teach them how to play those songs one by one, learning the basics of guitar along the way. For intermediate students, I would use the same method, but encourage them to choose more complex songs. This method teaches the student guitar playing techniques without bogging them down with confusing music theory and scales (although we can learn those things later after the student progresses). And if a student is learning a song they love, they're more likely to keep at it. Music if fun, and learning an instrument should be too.
