I am a firm believer in appropriate fundamentals are the key to stronger and healthier playing skills. In my lessons, I will encourage many types of fundamentals to round-out students playing abilities at the level which is most appropriate at the time. I work by the "Not good, Not bad, But better" philosophy. I will always focus on what the student needs and the best way for me to streamline their learning to achieve their playing objectives.

For beginning students, I typically start with a foundation of basic music theory and chord structure. Once the student is comfortable and this knowledge has become second nature, we progress to honing their own particular tastes in their first recital performance.

This also gives the students a goal to look forward to and something to emulate without just copying someone else. Read More
