I am an instructor with a passion for learning, performing and teaching music. I fully enjoy working with students who want to learn how to play guitar, bass, ukulele because I like to inspire and foster my love of music and pass it along to others. While I have an advanced educational background in humanities disciplines, I am mostly self-educated in music. It's a lifelong learning experience of more than 40 years that has led me to perform in local pop, rock, country and jazz groups and to teach music as a way to share my gifts and talents. Read More

For beginner students, I work through Hal Leonard's Guitar Method books 1-3. I then supplement with William Leavitt's A modern Method for Guitar Volume 1. I incorporate the student's musical interests throughout this by asking them for a list of their favorite songs that I then teach them the chords for. This keeps them interest in sticking to the guitar lessons while also sneaking basic music theory into the lessons. The students will then be well rounded in both theory and technique while still keeping lessons fun and engaging. Read More
