Now providing live online lessons through Zoom. I have been absorbing, performing, transforming and of course teaching tradional American music forms for most of my life. My private lesson teaching has been contiuous for over 20 years now. Integrated with the traditional styles is a foundation in music theory, the key to the kingdom for ear playing and composition.

Work with with many levels and different disciplines... we create a learning experience customized to each student. Most students develope into creatives as well as performers.

I've been teaching privately for over 15 years. I take students of all ages and skill levels. I focus on getting my students to play familiar songs and also teach them to read music. I cover folk, rock, classical and more. Over the years, I have developed my own method that I tailor to each individual person I work with. Nothing makes me happier than helping people meet their musical goals :-)

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Jazz Composition and a Master's Degree in Classical Guitar Performance. I have nearly 35 years of teaching experience. I enjoy instructing enthusiastic students using the many skills I have developed through the years. Seeing students improve is a real thrill for me. I help students by developing a keen awareness of their musical interests and showing them that the solutions are not reserved for a special few but that anyone with the determination, knowledge and desire can make real headway. I have a special talent for demystifying concepts and showing exactly how one can achieve....
