For blues guitar the first thing I do when I meet a student is to interview the student and find out why they want to learn how to play the guitar and what are some of their goals. Then I find out what style of music they would like to learn. I have the student come up with ten songs they would like to learn. I take this information and structure future guitar lessons around the essential elements of these songs. I design each lesson to teach the specific skills required to learn those songs. I create an organized binder guitar workbook and having a teaching degree I create all of the lessons to meet each students individual needs that include lessons on theory, technique, chords, rhythm, scales, arpeggios, songs, song form, and exercises etc. I use a color coded method to teach scales, chords and theory that I created that help students not only understand scales but also they are able to see visually where chords come from. I break down each song into easy digestible parts so ...

What music do you want to learn? Over the last fifteen years I have been teaching students that you are in control of your lesson. I am able to create lesson plans that develop both right and left hand attributes of stamina, dexterity, finesse, and groove all the while learning any song you really enjoy. Lessons are conducted in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere that focuses on providing all the tips and tricks for great performance.

My lessons are unique because I focus on self-expression and fun while still emphasizing technique! I think one of the most important things in playing guitar is developing ones own style! However, having solid chord changes, scale knowledge, and hand positioning, are just some of the essential skills needed to developing good technique and style. I have been playing for 14 years, and teaching for 4. I was self taught so I understand all the trials and pitfalls that both a young guitarist and a seasoned guitarist can go through. Also those struggling with or wanting to learn improvisation, that is my specialty!

Rather than teaching all my students the same way I create individual lesson plans based on their interests and songs they like. I want to convey my ear training ability to the student so they can apply it in the future. I find that songs can help the student get a strong theoretical context in order to learn music and guitar technique. All types of music and all levels of playing ability are my forte.
