My teaching approach :

I received my B.M.-classical guitar from Hartt in '96, but have played electric guitar since the beginning way back in '85. In my career as a professional guitarist, I've become proficient in many styles allowing me to play gigs ranging from musical theatre to classical weddings. As a teacher, I teach students about music through the style they want to learn. My aim is to make you self-sufficient. I have also written a beginning method book that teaches music fundamentals better than most of the methods out there. There is also an online component guiding students to playing songs correctly.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following

First lesson is all about finding out what the student would like to accomplish. Then, what strengths and weaknesses the student has will determine the approach. From there, we'll talk some about, and work on technique. Find a song that helps work on these ideas.

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following

In the introductory lesson, we talk about the parts of the guitar, how to get a sound, how to hold it, practice tips. Then we'll work on getting the left hand fingers to work. Before long they're playing the major scale. All in the first lesson.

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

Simply put, one who wants to play and is willing to practice.

Guitar lessons typically take place on these days and hours:

I teach six days a week, but only Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at Highland Guitar Studio. Regular hours are 2-9pm.

My influences are:

Segovia, Hendrix, Montgomery, Barreuco, Page, Django, Kanengeiser, Stevie Ray, Pass. The list goes on and on. You should see my CD collection!

Fee Schedule :

My cancellation/booking policy :

If a student is ill, please do not come to your lesson. If you have the flu or a cold, I might catch it and be unable to teach. Worse, I might pass it on to someone else. A make-up will be given for the missed lesson. Cancellation with less than 24 hours notice results in a forfeited lesson. Makeup lessons are not to be used as credit for future lessons. If I have a gig, no lesson charged.

Which methods of payment are accepted?

Cash, Credit Cards, Checks, Money Orders, Paypal
