I've been teaching guitar for about 15 years, voice for 10, drums and harmonica for 6 and classical guitar for the last 4. Over the years I've learned that the best way to approach teaching someone an instrument is to help them learn music that they love, as well as presenting concepts about what is happening in the music so that a bit of theory and the mechanics of how it all works gets mixed in with the enjoyment of learning just the technical aspects.

Teaching Philosophy:Without discipline and technique, there is no possibility for art. Atthe same time, technique alone expresses very little. Rather, it servesas a tool that frees us to make music. I address the importance of bothtechnique and artistry to my students of all levels. I like toencourage bold interpretive experimentation, and show students how Imyself would experiment with phrasing, dynamics and rubato. I like toenliven my students' imagination, as well as tend to the importantphysical mechanics of playing the piano (your arms should not hurt). Read More
