Very laid back open approach to helping you achieve your own goals. I believe we will accomplish this best by staying with a song based approach as you will learn complete pieces of music and will grow musically and have much more fun and the ability to entertain if you wish.

I listen to what the student has to say, and also hone in on where they are currently in their musicianship. This allows me to really see what areas need to be focused on specifically.
