My teaching approach: I possess a thorough knowledge of the instrument. Focus on proper technique for all students, regardless of his/her playing ability. Once proper technique is established, I utilize the Berklee Series as a basis for instruction. These volumes are supplemented by exercises, which I write specifically for the particular student’s needs. As the student progresses, I incorporate tunes that the student wishes to learn into the lesson plan.My guitar lessons take place in: Either locationGuitar Techniques: Lead guitar, Rhythm guitar, Open tuning, Fingerpicking, Slide Guitar, Performance, Improvisation, Jamming Skills, Reading Music, Music Theory, Scales and Exercises, Song Writing, Guidance In Equipment Selection Read More

For teaching children, I approach teaching as to the execution of everyday and fun pieces, so that the child learns by, and in turn I introduce aspects of academic learning necessary to create a solid base. In the same way,with young and adults, I make a work placement of the necessary techniques for a good and fast implementation, from technical learning exercise repetitive and daily ices, as well as the elaboration of a plan that involves their daily chores.

For beginning students I use the Bastien System. For Adults, I use The Alfred Adult beginner for Piano Lessons. I try to adapt the method to the skill of the student, which incorporates my own system, based on years of teaching. I teach according to the student;s skill, and at their own pace. I sometimes use the Trinity College of Music, london, syllabus. Classes consist of warming up exercises, then the student works on the music assigned and the Instructor gives it a grade. Read More

I started giving guitar lessons before I left to go to music school and continued to do so while I was in school and afterwards as well. It's always been for the love of sharing music with others and now I'm feeling called to do it full time. I have taught students from the age of 5 to folks in Their 50's. It's never too late to start learning an instrument. Read More

I have over 10 years of teaching experience that isn't limited to just music. I have taught a wide array of subjects in two Texas Indepenent School Districts. I am a self-taught guitarist; however, I do have a Degree in the discipline of Music. I have students as young as five years old and I teach many adults as well. I have been playing the guitar for 14years, but I've been playing music in general for 19. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Build it into a routine or schedule. (For example, always practice for the first thirty minutes following supper). Set a timer, don't look at the clock, and read the notes left by the teacher. I always give students a list of what I'm expecting them to practice, and part of the lesson is that I teach them how to practice what I've assigned.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Definitely a history teacher! History is my second love, and actually studying it is not that much different than studying musical styles. Both music and art reflect history almost more than a written record does! The world is full of rich cultures that I love to study, especially through music.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is usually one of two reasons a student begins lessons, and each have a different answer.
First, a child wants to learn. Sometimes kids say they really want to learn an instrument, but don't understand the effort and diligence that it takes. While music is a gateway to train a child in effort, diligence, patience, and self-discipline, it's helpful if you notice these qualities in your child in every day instances before they begin. If a child has proven that he is willing to put work in for other things, chances are if he's wanting to learn an instrument, he'll put in the work in that area as well. Also, long-term interest is more likely to result in long-term commitment. How long have they been asking for lessons? A couple of weeks, a couple of months, or on and off for years? These answers can help determine how ready your child is.
Second, a parent is looking to expose their child to music education. In this case, it's likely that the initial desire to play the instrument is not had by the child, although they quite possibly are open to learning and often do eventually enjoy it. Because a main ingredient of success is motivation, the same qualities from the first reason above can be good indicators that your child is ready to add this commitment to their life. However, if your child has yet to learn diligence and self-control, especially while sitting for long periods of time (such as the length of a lesson or practice session), I would suggest that you introduce them to this quality first before putting them in lessons. A child that has to learn to sit still at a piano bench, in addition to all the skills the teacher is trying to introduce, is more distracted, and therefore will stay at a beginner's level longer to compensate.
When will I start to see results?
It all depends on the student, the instrument, and what you consider to be "results". If you consider a short melody played on the piano to be a result, the student will begin to learn these little "songs" by the second week of lessons. For violin students, you may not hear melodies that resemble recognizable songs for several weeks, although many notes and exercises are learned weekly.
