My teaching approach :

I try to help you become yourself as a player. If you just want to be a copy of someone else then I am not the teacher for you. But if you are interested in being a better musician and picker then come on in

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following

I structure around the students goals. I also try to open you to other styles because music is a huge area and it all blends in to your style

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following

We will talk and if you already play we will play a bit. Then off we go

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

Someone that is open to fifferent types of music and loves the guitar

Fee Schedule :

I encourage 1 hour lesson per week unless the student is a child in which case a half hour is fine. I charge $40 per hour. I prefer to be paid by the month.

My cancellation/booking policy :

It is polite to give as much notice as possible for missing a lesson. With 24 hours notice I will be happy to schedule a make up lesson. However, I make my living this way so please come unless you are sick as I don't refund for missed lessons
