Teaching Style

Every student is different. There is no one method fits all. It is my job to keep students engaged and wanting to learn more. I usually start by making a list of favorite artists and songs, then from there, I connect my teachings to these interests. I not only teach songs and techniques, but also show students behind the curtains of music through the lens of theory, songwriting, and composition. We even talk gear, biographies, musicianship and anything else the students may be interested in.

Curriculum

There is no one method fits all. I usually start by making a list of favorite artists and songs, then from there, I connect my teachings to these interests. I have an extensive musical library of teaching books as well as songbooks/tabs/notation. In addition to that, I also have my own material I use for lessons. I send students additional material specific to what we are looking at during our lessons. 

I am not the kind of teacher who will only speak to students during our lessons. I encourage all my students to send me videos of their practice prior to our lessons and/or text me any questions they may have regarding the topics we are studying.
