My life is about music. I started playing guitar at age 5 years old. Began learning to read music at age 7 yrs. By the time I was 12, I joined the musician's union, playing lead guitar in my 1st group, in the St. Louis area for the next 8 years. Moved to Hollywood, Ca.. to further my life as a musician ,soon playing bass and played on TV shows such as The Merv Griffen Show, and other T.V. shows, recorded 2 sound tracks in films and played on the" World Famous Sunset Strip" for several years and touring across the country. I changed direction and my life style, for the next 30 years playing in praise and worship ministries, in some of the largest churches in American and locally..... playing guitar and bass. My approach is very simple.....Dream....... and study your instrument, and you too can make your dreams come true what ever your dream is in music.My approach and style with my students is, more of application. One approach is,building a strong foundation by learning how to read music or if you chose, to learn how to improve your "ear" and  read charts. Regardless of age to even having challanges, find out that you can fall in love  playing the guitar or bass guitar. If I can make my dreams come true , you can make your dreams come true and have alot of fun doing it. What more could you want???

To inspire.... beginning with the 1st lesson by showing you how to play a song. . I want you to fall in love with your guitar or bass. I usually  begin by using The Mel Bay approach in learning how to read music and learning the application of chords. Bass guitar, is a different approach. Learning patterns and understanding the importance of listening and establish "the groove". Regardless of the style of music you enjoy we will have a great time learning how to apply the music you enjoy with your guitar or bass. My job as a teacher is to help you  build a strong foundation, develope skills and get you to a level so you can enjoy the rest of your journey in  music on your own. Either by playing in a group,for your on enjoyment, or to play with other great musicians. It's that simple
