My teaching style is based on the wants and needs of the individual student. There are some concepts that are universal. There are also instruments that require more strict adherence to certain techniques. (Orchestral string instruments playing classical music is a perfect example.) Lessons can be fun AND educational at the same time. If you have never had that experience then you should sign up and find out. I truly want my students to succeed and I will do everything in my power to help them accomplish that! Read More

One of my earliest students was a former band-mate. One of the early lessons is the importance of practice. He saw for the first time my work ethic and commitment to daily practice. What I learned from the experience is the importance of demonstrating good music study habits and encouraging the students interest in music so that they can continue to grow and enjoy the guitar.
