I was taught primarily in the William Leavitt method, and use these resources to introduce students to the basics of sight-reading, theory, and technique. My personal preference is not to adhere too strictly to any one method however, instead focusing on the application of theory within a more active musical context. Improvisation is extremely important to developing a working understanding of music in my opinion, and much of my lessons are based in actively performing progressions with students, focusing on both comping and soloing.

For a beginning student on guitar, I have them learning notes from a Hal Leonard, Mel Bay, or Alfred starter book. All these books are great, but I believe it depends on the individual student and how they learn. I also teach tab to beginners. I feel it is important to read tabs these days as well as notes.

Learning music can be fun! I try to find a middle ground that is both fun and gets to the heart of what makes music work. This includes music history, theory and listening to music by artists that the student admires. Although learning guitar is achieved mostly from hands on the instrument there are many valuable lessons that can be learned through encouraging the student to simply learn to listen to music, and, by listening I encourage them to be inquisitive and find out how and why the music they like sounds the way it does.

My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching private lessons while being a section leader for band, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio ever since. I tell all my students, "A little a day goes a longs way," to remind them the benefits of keeping up with consistency with their craft to see results in their progress. Incorporating technique, tunes, and theory into my students lessons is how I help them gain an excellent balance of understanding everything that comes to music. Read More
