Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

For beginning students who are children, I like to start them with the "Guitar Method for Young Beginners Series" and then into the "Progressive Rhythm Guitar". Even while a student is learning the fundamentals, there are songs that can be taught at every skill level to keep each lesson fun. Once the basic understanding of chords,modes,scales etc are understood, then the student will be taught any style desired, along with any help requested in any other aspect. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding to me as an instructor than witnessing a student develop a genuine passion for music. Seeing that spark of excitement—when a student begins to take ownership of their progress and expresses curiosity beyond the lesson itself—is one of the most meaningful aspects of teaching. Music has the power to build confidence, encourage creativity, and provide a lifelong source of fulfillment, and my goal as an educator is to help students discover that potential in a way that feels natural and motivating.

For my beginning students I prefer to use The Hal Leonard Complete Edition books. I find this course to be clearly written and easy to understand, and it offers a broad musical foundation to facillitate students as they move easily to higher levels of guitar studies.

My curriculum varies depending on what instrument and style the student is learning. For orchestral string instruments I use the Suzuki method books but also others. The Simandl book for bassist is an amazing resource as well. Modern Reading Text by Louis Bellson is a great book for improving not only your rhythm reading ability but also sight reading. For guitar it really depends on what the student wants to focus on. Read More

My teaching style is a blend of structure, creativity, and student-centered guidance. I believe that great teaching begins with connectionunderstanding who the student is, what inspires them, and how they learn best. Whether Im teaching a child just discovering rhythm or a teenager preparing for performance or recording, I strive to create a learning environment that is both challenging and encouraging. Each lesson is goal-oriented but never rigid. I use clear objectives to track progress while remaining flexible enough to adapt to the students pace, curiosity, and energy. Read More
