Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music ! Therefore its important that each student progress at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for each student. Acknowledging accomplishments help fuel a students desire to progress. I tailor lessons to the students level as well as there interest in music. Many of my students have gone on to become professionals or involved in their church, school or community music programs.

I have been teaching the guitar for over 25 years. I currently have about 20 online students. I've recently moved to Tennessee from Connecticut so I am looking to add in person students as well. I've also been a working performer for over 25 years playing in various bands from tributes to The Doors, Fleetwood Mac, and Pink Floyd. Also, a country/classic rock acoustic duo. I've played in musical productions such as Hairspray and Adams Family Values. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
I've been teaching guitar for the past four years and drums for 10. My favorite thing about teaching is when a student gets to a playing level they didn't think possible. Seeing the transformation is the most rewarding part of the job for me, because I know first hand how good it feels to improve and progress. To see that same sense of acomplishment in others makes me happy because I know the lessons and skills learned are life long and invaluable. Read More

I strictly teach a practical and real world approach that quite frankly is not in any "textbooks" out there. I developed this approach through 25 years of playing professionally in a variety of genres (CCM/Worship, Pop, Country/Folk/Americana, etc.) and helping dozens of artists in those various genres as a music industry consultant. My method of guitar instruction is best suited for an individual who is interested in pursuing a career as a singer/songwriter regardless of the specific genre. Read More

For Intermediate/Adult learners, I will get to know whath he/she is looking to learn or what area they want to grow in and plan the lessons accordingly. Read More

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.
