Hi my name is Tyler. I have been playing music for over 20 years and have been teaching for 13. I love playing many styles of music, from funk, to pop, to extreme metal.

There I was able to work with many great teachers and learn a wide variety of techniques and styles. Read More

As stated earlier.. My Method and "teaching style" is very centered on problem solving. I have found great success with my students when I teach them how to think and solve problems for themselves. Ultimately, my job is done as a teacher, when my students no longer need me.

Traditionally, I like to teach without a method book but each student varies in their wants or needs.

I like working with students in a way where our love of music is the center of our attention, as such musicality is always the goal. For beginner students who’d like to sight-read, I like to start with the Alfred Modern Guitar Method 1 and supplement that with the Mel Bay Modern Guitar Method, Grade 1, or Frederick Noad’s Solo Guitar 1 if we’re learning classical guitar. Alternatively, if the student wishes to take a route in which he/she does not sight-read musical notation, I like to start with basic picking technique, proper guitar positioning, reading tabs and chord diagrams.
