Anyone can look up tutorials or guitar tabs on where to put your fingers to play a particular song, but most people don't know how to understand the underlying relationships so as to manipulate those sounds in your own way.

I began teaching lessons in college. Most of my early students were elementary-school aged and novice.

My most deeply seeded goal is for my students to develop a life-long love and practice of music! Read More
