My teaching experience dates back to when I was in high school, I've always tried to show that anyone can express themselves on a guitar and play a little music once in a while if it makes them happy.Throughout my career as a teacher I have always dedicated myself to sharing knowledge that leads you to achieve your own style and identify with your instrument.

My first music instruction job was at a summer day camp. I was 19. I taught group guitar lessons. I've been teaching private music lessons ever since.

Because you can play through an entire piece without any emotion and it won't be enjoyable because it doesn't feel good. Read More

I believe each of us learn differently; for some students I find that they are very hands on and prefer that I show them how to do something and then allow them to perfect it others I find that they need a little more guidance and need me to go at a slower pace but regardless of the student's learning language I take my time to understand where they are and outline a plan to help them exceed to the next level.

I tend to be very patient with students and understand that if they are not enjoying the lesson they will not learn or practice as much as they should. I try to get my students playing music quickly, once they are playing and not just practicing it becomes fun. I use small duo pieces that allows the student to learn a very simple melody then play along with me. This become quite enjoyable in a very short amount of time. Read More
