I want to get my students playing at the level they want to as quickly as possible. In order to do this I teach them according to what they want to learn, while pushing them to play faster and learn more. If a student wishes to learn a particular song, I am always willing to learn it and teach it to them. I believe that one of the most important things about playing music is to have fun. Read More

I've taught private lessons, group lessons, workshops, and youth music camps since 1998. I tailor my lessons to each student, according to his/her own goals and musical tastes. I like to get to know my students and find out what/who they like musically, then use that knowledge to demonstrate the things we're working on so they can hear it in action. If students want to write their own songs, we apply what we've learned to their songs too. Read More

I have been teaching for the last thirty years although I took a break in the middle to focus on my composition and production career, I would now like to put a greater emphasis on teaching and passing on what I have learned. My main emphasis for the student is to create an environment where they are having fun whilst learning. I encourage improvising and not taking it too seriously. Read More

I come up with a customized lesson plan for each of my students that will stay on the best possible path to success.

When I work with beginner students, I typically will use a year one method book such as Essential Elements. Read More

First off, I find out what inspired the student to want to play music and I'll get a feel for the type of music that they're interested in. Then I will create a custom lesson plan for that student. There is so much to discover about music, so I encourage setting small goals each lesson. I like to teach my students songs that present many different melodic scenarios and help them develop their ear so that can start to recognize all types of chord progressions, melodies and rhythmic patterns.

Aside from finding a student's learning style, my teaching method centers around creating goals that break down barriers. Most barriers are something other than a student's ability to learn. Music is a hard-learned skill, and it's all too often that many students face the hard reality of not becoming the next legend as soon as they pick up their first instrument. In creating a system of achievable goals for the student, I'm able to push the student away from the negative outlook that comes with the inherent difficulty in maneuvering through the nuances of learning.
