My teaching approach :

I teach basics via the Hal Leonard guitar method, but generally do not devote the entire lesson to the book. Since each student is different, I am committed to shaping the lessons to the students needs. I am willing to suggest and try anything that will keep the guitar a joyful experience. I also teach mandolin and fiddle, with a leaning toward old-time and Irish music.
