I am by nature a service oriented individual, and a kid at heart. Teaching music is a very important aspect of my life - I believe in its power as a tool the build confidence, broaden a healthy emotional spectrum, and communicate with others.

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 adapt my instructional methods uniquely to each student and the instrument that they'd like to learn. For some instruments, I refer to specific methods that I have experience in. For example, for Piano I would refer to the Suzuki method for young children, while for Euphonium/Baritone and Trombone I would refer to Alfred's Accent on Achievement series. Many students often come with their own questions or concepts that they'd like to learn, so I often integrate their ideas into my lesson plans, most often for 'ukulele and guitar. Read More
