I try to keep the student as interested as possible,some have shorter attention spans then others and for them maybe i will do 30 minutes instead of 45 minutes. others who are really into it and do not want to leave i may teach them for an hour and that often turns into 2 or 3 hours of just jamming and having fun at no extra cost because without students a maestro is nothing but a musician playing music. i love to play along with students so they are more prepared when they go out and make music with others musicians and they can stay in time with a drummer more easily.

For me, a love of teaching was secondary, a natural consequence of first developing a love for music. By adapting pace, materials, and methods to the individual while still maintaining high standards and remaining positive, it is my goal to help the student find their own love of music via their own path.

I've been teaching and tutoring guitar and music theory since I was in college, starting in 2013. After school, I continued instructing. Starting with the first lesson, I'll learn what the student is interested in, and build a curriculum that will reflect that interest. I've found that many students need encouragement instead of judgement to feel motivated to practice and improve at their instruments. I believe regular practice is key to understanding the instrument. Read More
