My teaching approach :

The primary focus of my teaching method is to develop the student's musical ear. The student will then learn how to apply proper technique in order to attain the sound they desire. I have been playing professionally in the San Diego area for 6 years, have been teaching private guitar lessons for 8 years and hold a Bachelor's in Music from UCSD with an emphasis in Composition. I am especially patient with beginners and have taught many complete beginners through the intermediate and advanced levels.
