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 students can learn a ...

Ranging from learning the basics of guitar, to integrating style, and to mastering how to play songs with ease.

Throughout my teaching career, I have crafted a strategic approach to giving my students an open, creative learning environment to help them progress rapidly without stress. My students receive thoughtful one-on-one lessons to cater to their individual goals and needs. I strive to see my students succeed and love when they see the progress they are making.

We'll cover what we need to in order to get you playing your instrument. Guitar is a combination of physically playing the instrument and having your hands been in shape, mentally know the possibilities of what you could play on you instrument, using and trusting your ear to create music, and doing it with a great sense of time and feeling the time/tempo and playing with great feel and different rhythms. We will cover various aspects and get you playing and understanding what you're doing on the instrument so that you will have a great foundation and most importantly be able to play with confidence.

I have over 10 years of experience playing guitar, I have grown up playing a lot of different genres, and am very flexible in terms of what I am able to teach. Growing up I played in a band playing mostly classic rock, and then I played in a jazz band. I mostly play rock currently but will be able to completely build lessons around what you specifically want to learn, from improving techniques to learning a specific song.
