Although I may be fairly new to formal teaching, my experience working in groups and sessions has taught me an incredible amount about humility and teamwork. I believe in placing emphasis on being a well-rounded person and musician above prioritizing skill on whatever instrument my students intend to learn. Being humble only increases your chances of success, especially if your talent is backed by humility and understanding. After all, there are no business or work relationships, only relationships.

I have been teaching guitar for over 5 years. I started teaching my peers when I was 15, and started teaching regularly while in college. I have taught students of all skill levels. Many of my students show improvement immediately, and due to their satisfaction, typically continue lessons for multiple years. I love teaching because I understand a variety of different learning styles, and I greatly enjoy learning how to teach each new student most effectively. Read More

I started teaching music about 10 years ago, and Ive always enjoyed working with students. Ive performed professionally in several bands on multiple instruments in the past 10 years, and Ive also done a good bit of studio work from composition and recording, to producing, to mastering. I emphasize practice, having fun, and learning useful skills as the keys to success in music lessons.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Because of The Beatles. I was inspired by my father's record collection. I fell in love with The Beatles at an early age. All the music I loved as a child featured the guitar. From The Beatles to Jimi Hendrix. I then discovered classical music through my teacher. Andres Segovia blew my mind. And then Django. Then The Smiths. Then Radiohead. It just never stopped. The guitar was cast central in all of it. I was amazed at how many different sounds, styles and emotions could be made on the same instrument.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've been fortunate to have had several great teachers who have inspired me. Beginning at a young age, I had a teacher who was talented and patient. He inspired me to practice. I couldn't wait until my next guitar lesson - I look forward to it all week. In college I had several professors who were instrumental in my growth as a musician. They challenged me intellectually. They challenged me as an artist. Being surrounded my musicians of world class caliber was highly motivating. My teachers were also working professionals who performed music around the world. I could see the results of hard work and practice in real time.
When will I start to see results?
"Results" probably means something different to various students. Establishing realistic goals is important. What are you trying to accomplish? Learning popular songs can happen quickly with regular practice. Performing an advanced classical piece is going to take more time. The more you practice, the faster you'll improve. Learning an instrument requires dedication, patience and discipline. It won't happen if you don't put the work in. These are valuable lessons that are useful in all areas of learning.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows enthusiasm for music and can hold an instrument they are ready! I've taught students as young as 5. 3/4 size guitars can help for the little ones. Do they love to listen to music? Do they sing along? Play air guitar? Talk about music? Do their friends play an instrument? For the younger child, they also must have the attention span to sit for a 30 minute lesson. The lesson time can increase to 60 minutes as they get older (7 - 10). Music can help build confidence in other areas.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a regular schedule with specified goals. 30 minutes of efficient practice will do more for your playing than 60 minutes of unfocused playing. Begin slowly, taking small sections of the music you are working on. Repetition is key to build muscle memory. If a particular section or phrase gives you trouble, slow down and repeat that phrase. Separate it from the rest of the piece/song. Visualizing your hands moving as you want them to helps. Close your eyes and envision yourself playing the part perfectly. Then slowly work through the section. Don't rush it. Time and repetition will get you there.
