I am able to asses the students current level of capability, understanding, and musical goals and tailor a curriculum to suit the specific needs and desires of the student. In terms of younger students who are first discvovering their interest in music, it is important to develop a basic foundation of understanding in terms of reading, writing, and communication with other musicians through the application of time tested teaching methods forcing the student to apply what they have learned in weekly "missions." For intermediate to advanced players, I'm able to help them to identify and subvert sticking points through the application of music theory, technique, and listening exercises as well as impart knowledge of the inner workings of music business and performance.

My focus is on Technique, Warm ups, and Injury Prevention on each instrument. I like to give precise instructions on how to build up discipline and practice regimens.

I try to make each lesson, fun and inspirational. Each person learns differently. This is known as "modality" Auditory By ear, or tonal instruction Kinesthetic By feel, learns from physically being shown, a hands-on learner Visual By sight, by fret board position memory and shape.

My students are going to learn the techniques that will take them to the next level. Read More

I explain that middle C is the reference point, moving to the right you ascend the musical alphabet: CDEFGABC...moving to the left you descend the alphabet: CBAGFEDC...We have fun saying that backward fast. I then explain half steps and whole steps, sharps go up (to the right) one half step and flats go down one-half step. I continue this logic by explaining the formula for a major scale WW1/2 WWW1/2.

I don't have a set process for every student. Every student is different and learns at their own pace. Depending on your preference of theory or practice and the type of music you aspire to play, I will tailor the teaching approach.

It is important to make your learning experience as enjoyable as possible so that you are encouraged to paly regularly. Read More
