I begin with the fundamentals of music theory that you will need to begin playing your instrument, and then I like to get straight into learning songs as quickly as possible.

My goal is for you not just to learn to play certain notes or chords, but also understand why that note or chord fits where it does. Read More

I also make sure to help my students learn what they want to learn because some students may want to focus on performance while others might want to focus on music theory. Read More
