I encourage all my students to learn the basic rudiments of music including music theory, sight-reading and playing ‘by ear’. I recommend Mel Bay’s “Children’s Guitar Method” and Hal Leonard’s “Guitar Method Book 1” for school age children.

When working with voice students I focus on basic theory, breath control, and vocal scales to develop student’s ability to discern musical intervals. Read More

The goal is to keep it fun, and foster those unique aha moments with the student and the craft. At the beginning of each lesson, I will set realistic goals, and inspire my students to do more than they thought was possible through music. Read More
