From my jazz training I help students improvise and create their own artistry. From my classical training I help students to learn to sight read, interpret the page correctly, play with a clean sound and play well in an ensemble. From my folk music training, I teach how to play from chord sheets, how to dirty up the sound to match the style and how to play in styles such as bluegrass, jazz, American fiddle, Irish and Scottish, Scandanavian, Klesmer or Classical.

Depending upon the students goals I like to take the approach of introducing harmony at a point in which that student is proficient on the open chords of the guitar and scales in the first position. If the student chooses to learn classical guitar I would begin with basic exercises in reading and playing from Frederick M Noad's Solo Guitar Paying.

I approach music from four perspectives in order to create an integrated foundation that caters to the learning methods of my students.

Using this as a format I gradually add theoretical concepts to the extent the student is able to broaden his or her understanding of what they like. Third, I incorporate short bursts of technical exercices, utilizing a knowledge of the devolopment of muscle memory and gauging my student's individual capacity to absorb new information. Read More
