BA music with a focus in fingerstyle guitar, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee
Music is my life and my love. I treat it with respect and if you can do that than you will be able to perform at a high level and become a very skilled musician. I work hard to identify weaknesses in order to make them strengths. If you are dedicated or just looking to learn a couple tunes, I will help you to own it at whatever level you hope to achieve.
I started playing electric guitar when I was young but fell in love with fingerstyle guitar in college. Artists like Michael Hedges, John Fahey, and Andy McKee are a few of the artists whose repertoire I've studied. I am also well knowledge's in theory and offer theory courses along with guitar as well.
It is important to work on dinner strength and independent finger mobility. I will first judge your abilities with a couple exercises and determine what you can conquer easily to get you moving in the right direction. I want to see my students working on both technical exercises and songs they want to learn. Both rhythm or lead.
I like to work with a metronome and ask my students to do the same. You can download a free app on your phone or buy one at a fair cost at a music store. Slow and steady wins the race and once that is established we can kick it up a notch.
