While I do teach students to read music and teach the theory behind tunes and compositions that we learn, I think that the MOST important element in anyone's pursuit of musical proficiency lay in the ability to connect what one hears to what one plays. Ear training therefore is a large component. I do use the time honored texts by Hal Leonard and Alfred publications or some from Mel Bay and those from Jay Traylor as well as many others such as the Real Book and Greg Fishman texts. Read More

As stated before, I began teaching as a private guitar instructor from 2012 to early 2018. Students' age ranged from 8 to 32 year olds. I taught basic music theory from intervallic relations between certain notes via guitar fretboard to the clear understanding of triads and scales. Mainly Ionian and all its other modes.

We will then move on to warm up exercises while discussing the importance of these exercises. Read More
