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: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.

About Me:ShowI am about reaching the goals of where the student wants to be and beyond. If someone wants to be a professional, I will provide the necessary tools to get there. If someone wants to just have fun and play around with their friends, i will provide the basics so that the student can feel comfortable in most situations. I basically teach theory, technique, and good interpretational skills. These three things will get any musician where they want to be.

About Me:ShowI believe that lessons should be suited to each students particular goals and needs. I hope to foster an environment in which the student can best pursue their own playing goals and the styles they are most interested in. My job as a teacher is to foster the student's abilities and creativity and to introduce them to concepts, techniques, and musics that will challenge and inspire them.

About Me:ShowMy teaching method is generally based on the blues which I consider to be the fundamental element in understanding all modern styles of music. I incorporate ear training by studying specific soloists, and by teaching their solos. I teach all levels and styles of modern American music, from jazz standards and solos note for note, jamming Hendrix or Led Zeppelin (and understanding their roots), or playing acoustic folk. Whether your goal is jamming on the back porch or playing concert halls, I will help you achieve your goals.

About Me:ShowI like to get to know my student's individual interests before devising our approach. I will borrow methods from Suzuki or particular books, if I think that it will benefit the student. All of my lessons touch on history, theory, and ear training. As we dissect particular lines or passages, I believe that the importance of knowing why we are learning is as important as training ourselves physically. Most importantly, music should be fun! I encourage my students to keep reminding themselves what drew them to music in the first place.

About Me:ShowMy approach to teaching is made of two elements: listening and expressing. In order to play what you want to express, I believe you need to hear it first. Then you need to be able to play what you hear. I believe each student deserves an individual lesson plan. I would be happy to provide practice materials selected according to each student's musical goal.
