Sticking to a schedule helps the young musician build a relationship to their instrument. Read More

I have been playing guitar for 30 years now. I began performing with various bands at the age of 14. I am thankful to have had talented musical mentors (band members, teachers, songwriters, studio musicians, professional musicians) to learn from and grow with over the years.

I first try to discover the student's knowledge of the instrument and find out their current level of experience. At that point, I can design a structured lesson plan around that. I'm very patient so I try to learn the student's pace and level of endurance. I always ask to see if the student has any issues with something they have learned in a past lesson. The guitar can be a challenging instrument due to its physical challenges. Read More
