About

Music feeds the soul. Music connects people. Find the teacher who understands your styles of music. Find the teacher who makes the music fun. I can.

I love music and I really like people. I make it fun, make it pay, and make it good for others.

I had mostly excruciatingly rigid teachers. I wanted to play and sing, not play a "1-string melody followed by a 2-string melody...".

Find the easy fun first. Then add complexity when and if desired.
