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.

Hailing from a background constituent of Jazz, Indie, Pop, Death Metal, and Rock, my studio is aimed at helping to coach and teach contemporary styles of the guitar. I can teach both acoustic and electric styles, with my specialties lying in Blues, Rock, and Metal (specifically on electric). The studio revolves around theory and practical musical concepts to help the student unlock the mysteries of the fretboard, eventually leading to the ability of heightened creativity and improvisation. I am an avid player of 10 years, and with my training in Music Education from WSU, have consolidated much of what I've learned to help maximize understanding and communication within the studio setting.
