Advanced players is all about finding the right tone and the right sounds, most likely helping by providing guitar work with them. It all depends on the student!

My teaching style is fun and effective. I find that a huge percentage of issues people face are themselves, so I employ fun techniques to overcome obstacles.

Teaching music should never sacrifice intellect. My teaching style is focus to develop my student's own artistic personality. I always remind my students the importance of growing as a musician using your unique perception of music. That is what makes every student special.

The understanding of the relationship of music with another arts and history is as important to me as the technique itself. Read More

My goal is to give my students the ability to self assess. They should be able to feel when they are singing correctly, without me always pointing it out.

I give them many tools to work with. I make sure they have scales to practice, either by recording their lesson or by sending them digital files via e-mail. Read More
