Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar
My teaching style is very analytical yet engaging! I try to establish a good relationship before pushing a student. At that point I will ask the student to play to the best of his/her ability. I teach in a style that helps children isolate problem areas, so that they can practice specific excerpts they are struggling with. I also do a lot of ear training and music theory to ensure that students are obtaining well-rounded musical skills. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Trombone Bass Guitar
Music has been a large part of my since I was a child, to include teaching. I started on trombone, moved to guitar, and found my real passion in electric bass. While I have led many careers in my life (construction, marketing, program management) music has always been a consistent side project. I have been fortunate enough to play and record with some well-known artists, and tour the US and UK. Read More

First I like to get a snap shot of the student's goals and sources of inspiration, once I figure that out I can tailor my instruction around their wants and needs. I see myself as an accountability partner with my students and so I help my students set goals for their progress, celebrate their successes, and evaluate the shortfalls. I encourage loved ones to be a supportive and active part of the process as that encouragement can fuel a student's desire to grow. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Classical Guitar
My teaching experience started eleven years ago when I retired from my career as a Systems Engineer. The guitar technique I teach is mostly finger style, which is suitable of a wide variety of solo guitar music, including Pop, Jazz, Rock, and especially Classical. I usually teach at the home of my students if the drive is not too far, but I also teach at my house in Gaithersburg Md, 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, gain confidence and develop a passion for the instrument.

I believe the single most important part of a musician's work begins in the ear. Building a foundation in aural training, and understanding what you're hearing, will allow any student to then approach an instrument with clarity and patience. For most students at beginning or intermediate levels, I'll use a dual-curriculum approach to develop ear training/theory understanding alongside technical skill and practical ability. I create my own lesson plans with each student's needs in mind, in order to help them follow their personal path to musical success. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
Style: Lessons should be conducted in a relaxed atmosphere, one that is conducive to learning. I go about teaching by demonstrating,explaining and elucidating the different musical concepts.Every student is unique , so i utilize various methods and different approaches to suit each individual's needs and capabilities. In my many years of teaching, what I have realized is that proper technique should be emphasized as early as possible so that the student will not carry bad traits both in practice and in performance.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Mandolin Recorder Lute Double Bass Mallet Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
I started out at the age of nine playing the trumpet, and continued this for two years before switching to piano. Ultimately, I found my love in playing the guitar, and took lessons for two years. As time went on, I advanced as a guitarist and actually expanded into new musical instruments. I began playing in local rock and r&b bands at the age of 15. These were some of my most influential experiences, as they expanded my musical tastes into jazz fusion, swing, standards and Latin Jazz. After graduating high school, I attended community college and then went to New York to study jazz theory, where I played a few sets with Sweetback in 2000 that led up to being asked to play with the band.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The person who made me interested in music was igor who was a professor at university. It was not only guitar but also music theory, and the map was very good. The performance was also great, and the performances with all of the students made me amazed by the various state laws.
Most impressive is the fact that I have a polio disorder and that there is a limit to the performance, and he gave me courage, saying that one of the world's greatest guitar hitters has only two fingers.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud of my career at a talent show when I was in college. At the time of the talent show, I was an All A student who was concentrating on studying, and my friend invited me to go to the competition. I did not expect to be in the class because of the ability of the applicants at the event. I was waiting for songs and performances in my order, and I got the honor of being ranked # 1. After that, I was invited by many school events and was happier with playing.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The reason I chose the guitar as my guitar is because of the various playing methods and the charm of the guitar. The guitar can be used not only as a simple string but also as a different semester by using the body or head of the guitar. It was not. It was also very attractive to me that I could easily carry around with various sounds.
When will I start to see results?
The guitar has many difficulties in the lesson than other instruments, but it is also the instrument that can experience the perfection in the quickest by nature. It is also possible to quickly distinguish between those who can learn as well as those who are not. When you finish your first lesson, you can anticipate the possibility.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1. participate lesson regularly
2. practice at home 15 minute every day from Monday to Friday.
3. relax your body and mind
4. step by step
5. don't give up
6. imagine your future
7. don't compare
8. follow the schedule
9. take time to master
10. don't press hard string
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Just because your child has special interest in music does not mean you are ready to take lessons. Practice is completely different from what you like. It is natural to like, but concentration is important because lessons must be accompanied by their own efforts. My long experience shows that it is not desirable to start too early. If you lose concentration, your child may be motivated to dislike the instrument. The most desirable time to start is to check and get advice from a competent teacher. It is best when the teacher thinks that he can lead
