Each and every student will respond differently to instruction, and I am proud to say that I am extremely adaptable. I want to make sure that I am communicating with each individual in a way that they will understand and be successful with, because the student is the most important variable. I use a wide variety of pop culture, classical influence, and I make sure to provide my students with opportunities to challenge themselves and grow in many ways, including encouraging them to participate in live performaces, competitions, and composition.

Traditionally, I like to teach without a method book but each student varies in their wants or needs. I like to start my most basic lessons with learning the open chords and connecting them with rhythm. From there, playing favorite songs and even writing some progressions maybe! Depending on what the student's goal is, we can learn notes on the fretboard or how to read music notation for the instrument. Read More

I have been teaching music since I was 18 years old and have been doing it as my only source of income since 2010. The majority of my teaching was at a music school where I did individual lessons and seasonal group sessions. There I would pick 18-25 songs, cast students on parts, work on the songs for 3-4 months, and then put on a big concert. A few examples of shows I have directed are Iron Maiden, best of the 80s, Prog Rock, Global Metal, History of Punk, Grunge, Motown, Soundtracks show (music from film, TV, and video games), Devo, Rush, and many many more.

My teaching methods depend on the instrument, age and experience of the student, and the goals for the lessons. Every student will develop a solid base of fundamentals and music reading that grows into study of a variety of styles of music. Read More

I can also tie in keys to scales which will help you to be able to solo to and improvise over music. I can also teach theory so that you have the understanding of what you are learning, which can help translate into further learning on the guitar. The learning sequence could look something like: learning the fretboard and some basic playing exercises, learning major and minor chords, learning scales and theory of scales and how this relates to playing in different keys, from scales learning triads and how from the scale chords are constructed, being able to see the chords of a song or to hear it and be able to determine what key it's in and therefore how you can play with or over it, then learning pentatonic scales which can be a method of soloing, and finally chord substitution and reharmonization.
