I have been performing and teaching for over 40 years, I am very passionate about my teaching and students improve very quickly. My lessons focus on learning the instrument and how music works in regards to harmony, melody and rhythm. My student learn to read and I also put a strong focus on improvisation. I have been fortunate to have studied and played with some of the best musicians in the world and my goal is to pass along my knowledge from those experiences. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Drums
To me it is very important to balance the technical and creative aspects of development. No matter what age/skill level I split time during lessons into activities that develop technique and language, and compositional, creative activities that help each student explore their instrument and what they have to say with it. This balance can be altered depending on the interests of the student or parent. I also encourage students to bring in songs that they want to learn/play along with to keep the lessons relevant to their musical interests. Read More
Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar
I try to go slow at first, focusing mostly on the instrument and how it works as well as how to take care of it. For instance, with guitar I teach them string names, how to change strings, what the different parts are (i.e. bridge, neck, tuners.) I'll teach a few chords along with this and when they are getting a handle on those I will move into learning scales and songs. Read More

More than anything music should be fun. The greatest musicians are the ones who enjoy playing music even when they're just practicing. I like to teach in a way that involves asking the student questions in order to get them to figure out the answer for themself, rather than just lecturing the whole time while they start daydreaming! This way the student is more involved in the learning process and it can make their time spent learning an instrument more worth it. Read More
