My teaching approach :

Guitar is a fun instrument. My lessons follow that concept. I teach using standard music notation. Tab is covered, but rarely used. I studied at Berklee College of Music. I have done numerous studio sessions and gigs. I tailor my lessons to each student's, individual progress and goals. Method books are supplemented with a wealth of other materials.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following

We start with their warm up exercises. Then I will listen to them perform the prior week's assignment. If I feel they have a good grasp on it we move on, if not we will work on the problem areas. I might give them special exercises to help them overcome certain issues. If I feel they have practiced their homework diligently, we work on a fun, non-method book song of their choice.

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following

If they are a beginner, I cover the parts of the guitar, sitting position, how to hold a pick, left hand position and very basic musical terms. Note reading does not start in the first lesson. They are shown a right hand picking exercise and a left hand exercise. Two, one finger chords and one, two finger chord are shown to them. I have them play a 12 measure song using them. They leave the first lesson with a song to play.

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

One with a true desire to learn and will put the practice time in to achieve their goals.

Guitar lessons typically take place on these days and hours:

Mon. - Thurs, 12:00 - 8:00, Sat, 9:00 till? I also have guitar ensemble groups where students get to play in a band setting. There are also two public recitals per year.

My influences are:

Joe Perry, Joe Pass, Hendrix, Segovia, Chet Atkins, Lenny Breau, Derringer, Pat Travers, Wes Montgomery, Django Reinhardt, Jeff Beck, Ted Greene, Nils Lofgren, Rory Gallagher, Trower, Ana Vidovic, Larry Coryell, Ralph Towner, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Bach, Giulianni, Peter Green, Todd Rundgren, Prince, Mingus, Art Blakey, Cheap Trick and Jimmy Page.

Fee Schedule :

$17.00 for 30 minute private lesson. Paid monthly in advanced. $8.00 for 1 hour ensemble class. Must be enrolled in private lessons.

My cancellation/booking policy :

This is getting stricter with each transgression. You book a time slot, you show up. If you have a VALID reason for a cancellation, I will do my best to get you a make up time slot.

Which methods of payment are accepted?

Cash, Credit Cards, Checks, Money Orders
