Instruments: Guitar

The combination of technique, sheet music, sight reading and music tracks that the student want to learn is a great way for the students to learn at their own pace. Practicing every day or every other day and having a track when playing each week can really develop your playing. Practicing for 10-50 minutes is ideal, rather than, only practicing for 3 hours one day a week. Always having a principle short goal or long term goal on the guitar or any instrument is really important to always keep you going forward as a musician. Read More

I started teaching just after graduating college in 1978. Although I took some breaks to pursue other musical endeavors I always returned to teaching whenever possible. i always encourage students to find an area of music that they love and find out as much as they can about it.
