One of the most rewarding moments for me as a teaching is that "lightbulb moment" when a student finally gets it, and I know that I helped guide them there. I set realistic goals for all of my students, but still push them to continue to achieve that which is just outside of their current ability. This enables the students to continue to progress and not become stagnant in their growth as an overall musician. Read More

Again, analyzing some music together that the student is interested in is part of the process. Music theory will be discussed! Theory will not dominate the conversation unless the student shows a high interest for this. Some basic theory as it related to chords, chord progressions, scales, and music in general will certainly be beneficial. I will say, if you are wanting to learn how to "shred" like Eddie Van Halen or some of the hard rock/metal guys, I won't be much help unless a music theory discussion is needed. Read More

My teaching experience began at the age of 16 when a few parents at the church I was involved in music ministry at became interested in getting guitar lessons for their children, so I began teaching guitar basics after Wednesday night service.

I'm an accomplished and passionate instructor who enjoys working with motivated students. I offer a love of music that translates into a connection with students and parents who sincerely want to advance. I graduated from Western Kentucky University in 1980-81. I have had the opportunity to perform and minister all over the world. I take a "student-centered" approach to working with the student (and also with parents of younger students), I will coach and advance this "team" toward the desired goals and outcomes. Read More

In addition, I like to incorporate my student's interests into their goals. For instance, for my guitar students, I like to set a realistic goal (a song they want to be able to play) and tailor my lessons towards my student being able to play that, while at the same time learning their fundamentals, or whatever else is in their lesson plan for that session. I find this to be both rewarding and inspiring. Read More
