METHODS USED
I use the McClosky Technique for vocal relxation when teaching voice. This is a hands on method stressing easy singing and designed not to damage voices. On guitar I stress music theory and basic technique to allow the student to develop his or her own style.

LESSON STYLE
We work hard in lessons to develop you as the best possible musician you can be. Music is a holistic experience that develops the body, mind, and spirit simultaneously.
I support on use the following techniques to encourage student learning. 1. The student should be fully engaged in the process. Organizational processes and details of the learning process develop through the student with examples and guidance from the teacher. 2. I teach the student how to think, not what to think. I do not assume students will pick up procedures on their own, but emphasize learning development rather than facts. 3. The learning process is reflective. I encourage students to review not only materials, but a holistic understanding of the material and its applications. 4. Students have some control over their learning. Student choice of topics and assignments within the curriculum engender a more motivated learning environment.
