For the last thirty-plus years my passion has been music. I read magazine articles and books on music theory. I compile lessons from various sources, to create personalized lesson material for each individual student. I’m currently taking advanced lessons myself, and teaching 2-5 students weekly. I have been writing, recording, studying, and performing music consistently, for over twenty years. I have intermittently taught private guitar lessons over the same time period. I studied music theory for one year in College, took private lessons, and taught myself ever since. I have also taught private guitar lessons with children steadily over the past three years.

With beginning children I usually start with Mel Bay Children's Guitar Books to get familiar with some basics and some easy kids songs. But experience has showed me one size does not fit all. I try to find a suitable book for each student to work from to use as a structured plan or path of development. I often utilize other elements in addition to the initial book, such as theory, chords, scales, and ear training. I may recommend songs for learning or help the student figure out their favorite songs. Whatever the age or skill level I connect with the student to figure out their goals and help them find the path to those goals. If they're unsure, I can make some recommendations...
