For older students, especially high schoolers, I like to use a blue book called Foundations for Superior Performance (Warm-Ups and Technique for Band) by Richard Williams and Jeff King as the techniques in that book are more suited for what a high school-level player should be expected to play.

I've been playing and studying the art of guitar since I was 14. In 2012, I began teaching private guitar lessons teaching basic theory, technique, songwriting, and approach to improv. I began pursuing my musical career more thoroughly after getting admitted into Berklee College of Music in 2018.

My earliest experience teaching was as a music counselor at a summer festival called French Woods. During my two summers working there, I taught students of all ages and skill levels on tenor and bass trombone, including private lessons.
