At the later stages of the beginner course, students will dive into complex chords, power chords, barre chords, and playing with a capo as well as learning when and how to transpose songs of various musical keys using a capo. For intermediate to advanced students, I will teach them how to play more melodically as well as improve their finger dexterity. Students will learn how to play in alternate tunings as well as solos and single note lines/riffs in addition to exploring the guitar fret board in its entirety via the CAGED system and chord inversions/triads.

My methods are to introduce an easy-to-understand base in music theory and applied music by explaining it based on how the music makes us feel. For beginners who are children, I begin with the essential topics such as how to hold the instrument and how to play simple scales and exercises. Once they are ready, we can begin introducing simple songs and chords that teach the fundamentals in a fun and engaging way. Read More

Because of the nature of the bass in musical settings, my approach to teaching is one I consider "wholistic". That means that in conjunction with developing fundamental technique and building repertoire etc., lessons will involve listening to songs and discusing elements such as groove and instrumental tone.

Because of this, I like to get a feel of what music my students enjoy no matter the age or skill level, that way I can custom fit the material of an individual's lesson to get the best results.
