While I do like to use method books and curriculum such as Hal Leonard's Essential Elements for Strings and Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course, I also recognize that every student is unique. That's why I work hard to get to know each of my students and figure out what their strengths and needs are. Then I can tailor a path that is personal to each student and keeps them excited and engaged while moving towards their individual goals. Read More

If a student comes in knowing absolutely nothing about music, I will start with teaching basic music theory. Extensive knowledge of music theory is not essential, but a basic grasp will make the learning process much smoother. From there - for stringed instruments - we'll move onto hand conditioning. Musicians use muscles that everyday people do not (also, playing guitar hurts until you fingers calluses). Then, we move onto chord shapes and eventually we'll learn full songs. Read More

I like to believe I am very perceptive. Therefore, my first lesson is always about getting to know my student, or at least as much as they let me. Picking up habits in the beginning is a good way to know how to best teach and have a strong professional teacher-student relationship. Over time I can get a sense of what to say and when to say it. I have always believed that treating your student see you as a guide, or pedagogue than a teacher breaks any personal barrier much faster, and therefore both the student and I will communicate better.

I have a very personal teaching method to everyone. Depending on my student needs, I choose the book we go by. It can vary from Hal Leonard to Mel Bay or Jamie Aebersold. When I have classical guitar guys, I can pick between Andreas Segovia or Ted Tennant, etc. For jazz, for example, Frank Gambale or Scott Henderson, etc. Most important, I focus on fundamentals and discipline, making sure we have something new to explore every lesson if we can.
