I have been teaching since college when I was 22. I have trained multiple band-mates from scratch. I continue my training on all my instruments and I am considering becoming a music professor at a university eventually and possibly. I have a history with several students from ages 4-28. I have even taught students with learning disabilities such as ADD, ADHD, etc. In addition, I believe music is a great communicator for people who have a lot to express. Read More

The basic mechanics of holding the pick and instrument, the basic mechanics of fretting notes, etc. Must be learned before the "Music" can begin.

Theory is important of course, but I teach theory in the context of playing music. Read More

I teach by example and inspire with encouragement. My enthusiasm and positive attitude create an atmosphere of fun, excitement, and creative learning. I believe that each student is different and I seek to honor each individual with a customized approach that will serve them in the best way possible. I never criticize or discourgage students; I lift them up and bring out their best. I am always open to feedback about the direction of our lesson plan and approach. Read More

It is important to make your learning experience as enjoyable as possible so that you are encouraged to paly regularly. Read More

So, it can be a bit tricky in the beginning to get your hands working the right way, and pacing yourself through the adaptation of your hand to the neck of either instrument is essential. So, lots of finger exercises are done and getting the fingers working by playing melodies to familiar tunes is helpful as well. Read More
