Instruments: Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Fiddle

I have fun with my students. They learn to play songs that they want to play, and I provide theoretical and technical instruction within that framework. Learning to play an instrument is a lifelong endeavor which provides both challenge and satisfaction. I'm an active listener and seek to understand each student's needs and goals. Education is a two-way street, and I learn from my students as they learn from me. Read More

I take the time to dialogue with my students allowing them describe their vision and their desired goal.

For school age children, I've designed a colorful weekly practice assignment as guide for their practice times as an expression to show how much they accomplished in their studies. Read More

I also had volunteering experience as an assistant teacher for Sunday School. Read More

My methods really depend on the level of the student. For beginners, I tend to stick to basics by teaching them chords, scales, and basic music theory; by using music that they would like to learn how to play.
