About Me:ShowTeaching is like anything else, you need to put in the time in order to become better at it. There is a certain method or art in teaching that through time, develops as you work at it. My attitude is this: each person deserves a custom-designed method for their individual needs. Some people start out on their instrument knowing absolutely nothing about music. Others can remember things like sight reading or tempo from classes taken during their school years. These variables need to be recognized and a student needs to be developed using their strengths. I try and keep my lessons informative and flowing smoothly. I keep in mind there are a lot of instructional videos floating around on the internet. I have seen some of them and there are certain benefits in watching these videos. However, I firmly believe nothing takes the place of a good lesson one on one. Not only does it personalize the learning process, but it makes it more fun and more hands on. Sometimes, in order to keep my lessons productive, I pretend I am videotaping myself. This way, I concentrate on spending my time wisely and getting my information across as clearly and concisely as possible. I also concentrate on keeping the lesson fun and interesting in order to stimulate the student to want to come back for the next one.

About Me:ShowIt is my experience that learning to play the guitar begins with learning to use your body as it relates to the guitar. I teach proper use of the hands but also the body as a whole. I develop exercises custom made for each student that focus on the aspects that the student needs to develop and at the same time developing the students musical expression and quality of sound. When the student's body is used properly and the quality of sound is high, the student's musical expression can really come through and shine.

About Me:ShowMy mission as a guitar player has always been to create music as pure as possible. Studying the masters is great, although in my teachings I also stress the importance of having a strong understanding in music theory, something I gained from my degree obtained at Hartt School of Music and something I intend to better by working towards my Masters. As a teacher I like to incorporate these concepts into the process of learning songs so that the student gains an understanding for these theoretical concepts while enjoying the act of making music.
