I encourage all my students to learn the basic rudiments of music including music theory, sight-reading and playing ‘by ear’. I recommend Mel Bay’s “Children’s Guitar Method” and Hal Leonard’s “Guitar Method Book 1” for school age children. However, many of my students have decided to concentrate on learning basic theory involving chords and scales to develop ability to play ‘by ear’. When working with voice students I focus on basic theory, breath control, and vocal scales to develop student’s ability to discern musical intervals. Read More

I APPROACH TEACHING WITH A COMPASSIONATE UNDERSTANDING OF THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS INTERESTS AND DESIRED ACHIEVEMENTS. AS MY STUDENTS PROGRESS LIVE RECORDINGS BOTH VIDEO AND SOUND ARE TAKEN AS THE STUDENT GOES FURTHER ALONG IN HIS ABILITIES. WHEN A STUDENT ACTUALLY SEES HIS OR HER PROGRESSION ON A VIDEO OR WITH A LIVE RECORDING MOTIVATION AND ABILITY TO GO FURTHER ALONG IN TECHNIQUE AND STAGE OR FILM ABILITY.

I'm new to teaching guitar and voice, however, I'm not new to teaching as I have struggled to learn certain subjects in school such as mathematics, and I am aware of the hardships that can be associated with what I call the learning curve. Almost everything in life has the learning curve so when I teach I do it in such a way that is easily understandable; because I remember being in the same position as the person I am currently teaching, and I think I wish this person taught me how to do this in this way, in a more simplistic way.

Believing that each student deserves individual approach, I am enthusiastic to help people of all ages to learn, grow, and succeed in music. Throughout my 15 years of experience, I have learned that young students develop their knowledge slowly in time, in their own pace. In first part of the lesson, the student plays scales, arpeggios and chords as a warm-up, following by short technical exercises, which expose him or her to new musical situations, and develop the playing skills.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students develop a passion for music, and seeing their confidence grow as they progress. Therefore, it is important that each student learns at his or her own pace. There is no need to over-exhaust them with tasks but I do encourage individual growth and development by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments big or small helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students more eager to learn. Read More
