Lesson Details

The emphasis in lessons will be fun. I believe in having fun while playing music and playing the music that I enjoy and I'd love to transfer that feeling on to you. A typical lesson with me includes playing lots of examples together and breaking down exactly what is going on for complete understanding. I also emphasize listening. I like to know who your favorite musicians are and what music you like to listen to. By playing and listening together to the music you love, you will improve as ... a player and have a lot of fun doing it!
