I like to tailor my teaching to each student's interest. Everyone has their own reasons for learning the guitar. I am classically trained, so teaching the techniques and repertoire of the classical guitar is my forte. However, I am also well-versed in rock, blues, popular, and folk music. I believe that the most important thing a student can do is to learn music they truly enjoy, as this helps to ensure the student sticks with the instrument. Because of these beliefs, I typically structure my own curriculum based on the student's skill level, interests, and goals. This will include my own printed materials and curricula. Generally, if students would like to learn classical, I will draw from the Royal Conservatory of Music Repertoire and Studies series. For other styles, I begin with tablature of your favorite songs. I can teach any player to read sheet music, and that would ideally be done with beginners as well - however, if this is not in your interests, we don't need to go there.
