About Me:ShowMy approach is to base the teaching of music and learning of the guitar primarily on the music the student feels the most passionate about. The first thing I usually teach students is how to play a song of their choosing. I use the song as a means of learning about theory, technique, ear training and all of the other important aspects of music. I believe that understanding music on its most fundamental levels is extremely important. That means understanding more than just how a song relates to the instrument its being played on (i.e. the guitar). The study of intervals, ear training, form in music, rhythm, and harmony are all very important in gaining a broad, deep understanding of how the language of music works, and I enjoy taking interested students down this path of study.

About Me:ShowThere is no one method for teaching music. However, structure is important and of great value for a musician among musicians. As a teacher, I look to build upon a student's natural strengths, whether that be an ear for music, a passion for a particular type of music, or the ability to read, write and decipher written music. At the same time, I find value in approaching any weakness in different ways to produce a well-rounded student that can eventually flourish as a professional musician.

About Me:ShowMy approach to teaching is simple: Anyone can make music. Like most of us have learned how to speak and write in at least one language, we can do the same in the language of music. The main obstacle is time - and we can overcome this with dedication. My part in the lessons is to show you what and how to practice to become fluent as soon as possible - and your part is the dedication to practicing and making music your new language, and believing that you can and will play!

About Me:ShowI primarily give instruction from a traditional, western classical perspective, although I feel comfortable with a number of different styles, including rock, country, blues, and basic jazz. As a teacher, I am happy with creating an individual curriculum for students to work within, or, with exceptionally motivated or advanced students, letting them take the initiative with what they choose to learn. In these latter cases, I see my role more as a facilitator than as an instructor.

About Me:ShowI have been a private music instructor for almost a decade. Not so long ago I was a shy 10 year old kid who wanted to learn Nirvana songs and was fortunate to learn from someone who could relate to me and make playing the guitar a lot of fun. My students enjoy lessons not just for the opportunity to study and create music, but they also appreciate a positive and fun environment I tend to put forth. My primary goal is to help people accomplish personal goals they are pursuing and not to orient them to what I consider most important.
