Throughout my teaching career, I have been driven to help students achieve their very best. I strongly believe that music has the power to change lives, to enhance the social, cultural and spiritual lives of people, and serve as a profound medium of personal expression. I always encourage my students to ask questions as it not only keep them learning but also allows the lessons to be more interactive. I have also mentored several students for conservatory and private music school auditions. Most students had no experience in at least one of the required topic for the auditions. But all students successfully passed the auditions.

The method I use for teaching is directly related to what the student desire to learn and improve in. That being said, for children and beginners, I will focused mainly on the basics such as: proper posture, proper guitar technique, basic chords, basic rhythms, warm-ups ... Once all of that is covered, my method will vary depending on the student's goals and the style where are in. But no matter what we are covering, I always tailor personal handouts and videos for my student to study once the lesson is over.
