About Me:
It 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.
