I have been teaching students for many years and love the challenge of developing new students into musicians that can be proud of their art.

Instruments: Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 16 years ago for the local college continuing education guitar classes while attending university. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for all students, as it is necessary to help the student progress. I've also found that exploration of multiple music genres can go a long way in helping students enjoy the guitar and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Music, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I am happy to teach all styles of music from classical to RB guitar. However, what I get most excited about as a teacher is helping students understand the fundamental logic of music.

Nothing fulfills me more than seeing a student perform, whether it is at a concert or competition, because seeing the musical and expressive growth that has been cultivated come out through the student is an absolutely beautiful experience.

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar

My teacher was very encouraging and always believed me, and I try to be that person for my students.

Working out of a book is fine in some cases, but I have found that expecting everyone to learn from the same method doesn't always work. Read More
