I've been teaching in one form or another for over 20 years. I ahem also had some really fun mentor relationships as well. One in particular in Mt. Juliet TN. A young man I met at age 10 and is now 21 years old. He had released three records since we first met. I'm very proud of Zach. I've played guitar on over 30 recordings and played over 1,000 shows/concerts. I've charted on the Billboard Chart and my current pop/rock single is #1 in Europe and U.K. on the Euro Indie Top 200!

All of the skills that I teach are based upon a lifetime of performing. I have been singing since I joined choir in 4th grade and began playing guitar at 14. I started teaching after I finished my undergrad, but my skills were greatly enhanced when I did my Master's degree. I was employed by FSU to teach while I was in my Master's, and I had a rotating studio of 10-14 college age musicians who I met with on a weekly basis. Read More

I spend time at the beginning of our first lesson getting to know about you and your goals. Instead of teaching scales and chords alone, I have students learn a song so that I can illustrate how music concepts are applied in context.

Setting S.M.A.C. goals for my students is very important. These are specific, measurable, achievable and challenging. Nothing makes me feel more accomplished as when I help my student feel accomplished and reach their goals. I have a very non critical approach and encourage mistakes with a non judgemental attitude. I feel this lightens up the atmosphere and allows the student to grow at a much more rapid rate. Read More

My passion for sharing knowledge begin during my time as high school tuba section leader, which led to Senior band president.

I started teaching guitar lessons privately when I was 16 years old and, since I tested out of my first year of Music College in Argentina, I was able to receive my first music degree at age 19. Shortly thereafter, I started teaching elementary school music and symphonic band at a private school until I was offered a scholarship to be an exchange student in the U.S., and then offered two scholarships (Tiger Scholar and LMA) to transfer to LSU (Geaux Tigers!) to finish my studies there.

At this stage, consistency and clarity are especially important, so I emphasize good practice habits and gradual skill-building to ensure steady progress without overwhelming the student. As children advance and demonstrate a solid grasp of the fundamentals, I begin to expand beyond method books and introduce solo repertoire that is appropriate for their current skill level. This transition is an important milestone, as it allows students to apply what they have learned in a more musical and expressive context. Read More
