My methodologies for teaching will vary based on different factors such as age and level of musical knowledge. The number one thing I try and do for my students is make sure they have FUN and ENJOY the process of learning. I do like to use established books that focus on the fundamentals of music such as the Hal Leonard Guitar Method Books. Literature like that is very informative, but also a bit clinical at times, so I always like to find out what my students want to play and tailor lessons towards their specific goals. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I started teaching at an Academy of Music in Kokomo, IN, where my instructor, Gary, felt like I was experienced enough to start giving lessons. I was a little nervous about it at first, but once I got started with my first student, I realized I had a lot of fun teaching! Ever since then, I would teach friends who wanted to learn and they would recommend me to people they know, and I just all around enjoyed it. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I have taught guitar lessons for the past 5 years and have taught a number of students. I strongly emphasize the importance of practice, patience, and diligence in learning and pursuing music. I believe that learning music is a skill that will carry one far in life as it is one of the few pursuits that is for the most part self-motivated. Read More

I'm a deeply passionate, wholly enveloped musician who lives for the love of music. I absolutely love teaching others, however my golden strength is my ability to read my students from a lifelongs-experienced side, while fully understanding their difficulties to the most finite degree, no matter how frustrating and daunting the art of music can be- and teaching in the direction THEY wish. Creating music fueled by passion and the desire to express the otherwise ineffable emotions is the most powerfully freeing experience I think anyone can have, and it's my joy to enable others to enjoy it Read More

I have been playing piano, guitar and singing since I was 7 years old. I have been teaching music, including music theory and improvisation, for over 20 years. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music from S.U.N.Y. Cortland and a Master of Science Degree in Instructional Technology from New York Institute of Technology. Music is my profession and my passion. I have experience in a wide variety of musical styles and I design my lessons based on my students' interests. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
First, are their hands big enough to wrap around the neck of the guitar? If yes, that's a good start. Do they show an interest in learning guitar? Are they into music in general? If yes, then I think they're ready to learn an instrument.
If a child is being forced to learn an instrument, it most likely won't go well. It needs to come from a place of curiosity and excitement. Granted, the child may go through spells of not wanting to play guitar while learning, but that's normal.
Do they have a natural passion to learn?
When will I start to see results?
I can't guarantee or promise results after a specific amount of time because the results a student sees are heavily dependant on their work ethic. How good a student gets at playing an instrument is up to how badly they want it and how often they intentionally practice.
Theoretically, though, a student who practices consistently and effectively should see improvement within the first couple of lessons. As they learn chords and strumming patterns, through practice and regular lessons, they should see a difference from when they first started.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My uncle was a big inspiration for me as a beginner guitarist. He would do exactly what I now do with my students -- teach them a song they love. He would stay patient, often playing the part over and over again, waiting for me to get it. He would even jot down the chords and notes on how to play the strumming pattern.
He just wanted to share the joy of playing guitar. And I do that with my students.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My mom actually had a guitar that she never played, so that's what I would jam on before I really knew any chords. Also, lots of people I knew played guitar (like my uncle, brother, and friends), and it seemed like fun.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Find a private place so you're not worried about people judging your developing skills. Practice your part(s) over and over again -- play the song, run through the scale, work on the strumming pattern, whatever it is. If you can, play along with the song you're learning.
Also, set a timer. Set the timer for at least 10 or 15 minutes (but 30 minutes is a good amount) and practice intentionally until that timer hits 00:00. This will help you avoid noodling on your guitar, daydreaming about being an awesome guitarist, or messing around on your phone.
