About

My teaching approach:

I teach students the theory behind the music that they enjoy. I employ the thought "give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for life" I don't just teach songs. I develop the student's ear so they can learn songs on their own and eventually write their own!

My influences are:

Michael Hedges, Tommy Emmanuel, Dave Matthews, Stevie Ray Vaughn, David Wilcox.

My guitar lessons take place in:

I typically start with chord and scale exercises and move into a song, explaining the theory behind it and the physical techniques.

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:

My students range from 2nd graders to adults. Many are involved in bands and worship teams and come to me for real world application of their instrument. I also work with groups of 3 to 5 in a "band lab" setting to explore band dynamics and understanding of each role in a group.
