My teaching approach :

My teaching is limited to classical guitar. I very much enjoy working with beginning students of all ages, as they have no preconceived notions or bad habits. I have worked for more than 30 years with Phillip deFremery (former student of Andres Segovia). Phil formerly taught classical guitar at the Aspen Music Festival , and the Juilliard School. Phil's students have included Benjamin Verdery, Eliot Fisk, Sharon Isbin and others. Working with Phil has provided me with tremendous insights that I enjoy passing on to other players.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following

Beginning with an introduction to musical phrasing and sound generation in simple etudes and a strong emphasis on proper technique development, then on to challenging etudes where the student develops technically and muscially, simulteously.

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following

Observe right hand and left hand technique, and assess the student's musical understanding from basic etudes.

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

One who is willing to put the effort in to develop playing abilities, enjoys life, and realizes that classical guitar playing is a journey, not a destination.
