There are so many ways to approach music - via reading music, improvising, composing, playing by ear, and I make sure to include them all over the course of my lessons with students.

I usually use the Hal Leonard method for guitar students learning to read, and the Faber piano method for paino students. Read More

I feel that if a student is just banging away at notes without getting the big picture of how everything works it can be frustrating and fruitless. I like to teach as we play a song.

I do customize songs to the age and interests of the student. Read More
