I usually see what level the student is on and we go from there. The age and interest of the students will also tell me which way to go in the lesson.

If the students are just interested in one specific thing then we focus on that. Read More

I started teaching guitar lessons in 1999 (20 years this year!) Since those days I've gotten two degrees and taught at colleges, and private institutions, as well as high school and middle schools.

Most importantly it makes learning music fun! I love jazz and I encourage efforts of composition and improvisation to help the student take ownership of the notes they're learning. Read More
