My teaching approach :

I have performed jazz, rock, folk , blues and original music professionally over the last 20 years. I offer practical instruction based on my experiences writing and performing music. I enjoy working with beginners and even professionals seeking to broaden or improve their skills. I approach each student as a unique situation. I like to learn how you learn. My goal is to help you get closer to the music you love, through studying the guitar. I prefer to use your favorite music to custom- design exercises that help you meet your musical goals.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following

lesson plans vary from student to student. Some people are very engaged in the technical aspect of learning, and the ear training part is very intuitive for them, or even easy. depending on a students interests and ability, we shape the overall lesson plan to cover repertoire, technique, theory, ear training and improvisation.

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following

If the student is a beginner , I like to help them try out different postures, and try to find a solid way for them to hold the instrument that works with their body type. if they have some experience already, I try to zero in on something that will get them to the next level, and give them something interesting to work on right away!

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following

Everyone is unique... my ideal guitar student merely has to show up and love music!
