I do enjoy teaching out of books, especially younger children. It gives a visual to emphasize what I am teaching. A lot of the books I use are from Hal Leonard, but then I also have custom exercises for all different genres of music. Younger students, I tend to teach reading music with single notes as it is easier on the hands. It then creates an avenue to introduce basic music theory concepts. Read More

I began teaching guitar lessons at the early age of 17, and have continued to make private instruction a mainstay of my professional career ever since.

I find no greater delight than seeing the smile on the face of a new student who is getting those first few chords under their fingers, or helping an advanced student tackle a tricky riff or progression.

This will include thoughts like where he or she starts to get bored, gets stuck, wants to explore more, has trouble, etc. Read More
