I am passionate about the guitar. It is a totally unique instrument. In fact, it is the only instrument that matches the piano in range and one of the only instruments where the exact same note and pitch can be found on the same instrument. I have taught my nieces and nephews how to play the guitar. I have also taught friends and band-mates how to play the instrument and look forward to sharing my love for the instrument with others. I encourage my students to stop me at any point while I am teaching them. No question is stupid when you are learning something for the first time.

I first begin by learning the goals of the individual student. I generally start with introducing the student to the instrument, fretboard, nut, saddle, etc. I show the student how to hold the guitar and pick. I believe in teaching the fundamentals of the instrument. I also believe encourage the student to ask questions and make suggestions as to how they think they might learn to play the guitar.
