For beginning students, I always start with technique and posture, as improper technique can be catastrophic to your playing down the line. From there we'll cover the basics, such as chord shapes, strumming patterns, and scales.

For example, if the student in question likes Punk Rock music, every week we'd go over a riff from a popular Punk song. Read More

My philosophy about teaching music to a student is to be original and musical as possible in order that the foundation of pure music inspiration and creativity is attained.

I encourage the guitar student to inspire themselves by writing their own melody and develop a harmony over that melody. Read More

I typically start teaching students with very basic chords and very simple songs. I usually feel satisfied if the student is able to pick up on a simple song by the end of the first lesson and learning songs is the best way to learn guitar in my opinion.

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
