My teaching experience dates back to High School as I began teaching part time. I continued teaching thru collage and the Airforce Band. After College I played full-time for many years. I began teaching full-time in 1995. I started my home studio in 2014. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

I really enjoy and endorse Hal Leonard's guitar teaching books. They are widely available, affordable and easy to read and comprehend for beginners. I like to develop a personalized lesson plan for each student beginning with an evaluation during the first lesson. I like to ask a lot of questions pertaining to the students' musical background, learning preferences and musical tastes. I then focus on fundamentals, practice regimens and music theory. Read More

Sometimes all it takes to really understand the material is a considerate instructor who knows how to teach at your pace. Having worked with students throughout Northern Virginia since 2000, I bring a depth of professional experience and knowledge to those who are eager to expand their minds, talents, and skills. I am passionate about musical education. It is my belief that music is a gift to be shared - not just between instructor and student but also between the student and their community. Read More

i start beginning guitarists out with Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book One, because even if a player is not destined to rely on traditional notation, they still need to know the names of the notes, so they can communicate with others. I approach ukulele somewhat less formally, because chords can be played right off the bat--singing is encouraged. For bass students, ensemble is stressed from the get-go--bass is inherently a goup affair. Read More

Hi! I'm Asher. I'm a lifelong musician. It's who I am; playing guitar is a language to me, and one in which I often feel more fluent than my native tongue. I've been teaching private and group lessons for over ten years. I've been fortunate enough to perform, both solo and with bands, all over the world. I've led groups of talented musicians to perform original music from Jerusalem to Tokyo, toured the United States multiple times, and have recorded and produced over 1,000 songs in my lifetime.

My position began in November 2018 and ended in mid 2019 as the demand of my tennis instruction services needed to take precedence at that time. An additional music instructor position in which I am involved is that of ballroom dance instructor at the Lord Fairfax Community College in Warrenton. My wife and I have taught very successful and well attended Level 1 and 2 ballroom dance classes there in the fall and early winter semesters there for the past 5 years. Read More

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Not that I know of.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
One of the hardest thing to master as a guitar or bass player is the physcal strength, flexibility and coordination of the fingers and hands. The left and the right hands have to develop different capabilities theateventually work together to create musical tones and rhythms.
Beginning students sometimes find it very diffucult to play enough to grow callouses on their "fretting" fingers so they can press the strings down without too much pain.
I think it is true for all instruments that maybe the biggest challenge is staying with it over many years, so that your growth as a person can show up in your playing.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I wanted to play trumpet and bugged my parent for at least a year about it. I signed up for lessons in school but found teachers mostly old and uninspiring. It's where I learned to read music and develop an appreciation for musicians. My real inspiration came from a friend who lived up the street from me and wanted to teach me how to play so we could start a band some day. I sold my trumpet for my first guitar and that got mr going.
After that I was fortunate enough to meet some great players and take a few private lessons. Now there are some many learning resources online to keep me inspired. Honestly, my students are an ongoing inspiration to me to keep improving.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I switched to guiter because I wanted to play contemporary music I liked, what was rock and folk back then. Guitar and bass seemed to me to be better suited for those styles. You can't overlook personal taste and youthful enthusiasm when deciding an which instrument to play.
I think everyone has some kind of musical talent, just like everyone can do math. But some of us love math and the rest of us use it as needed but don't go to bed at night dreaming about multiplication tables. We can all appreciate music but the musicians among us often know what they like to hear and want to imitate.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Learning how to learn music, then learning it.
Learning how to teach music by teaching it.
Performing before live and appreciaative audiences.
Seeing my students progress in their learning.
Seeing myself continue to progress as a musician and teacher ... still, even after 40+ years of playing and studying.
Developing into a much better singer and learing how to be an entertainer, as well.
Using my experience teaching world cultures to enhance my understanding of the history of music and the role it has "played" in the on-going evolution of culture.
