I'm very big on motivation. I tell my students from day one how great there doing and give them something to work towards.

I believe this is why my stufents never quit and always are excited to lesrn more because theres never a dull moment. Read More

I have taught private lessons for 15 years. I emphasize the practice makes perfect rule of thumb. I tell my students you're not studio/performance ready until you can play through a song 10 times without error. I encourage improvisation. I always say if you can count to 4 you can start learning in less than 10 minutes. I stress the importance of practicing every chance a student gets. I strongly advise recording yourself and being your own critic prior to begining a student's live performance career. Read More

Ironically enough, some of the best lessons I ever learned in music school weren't even how to play, it was how to teach. Read More
