Music Lessons
About
As a teacher who plays guitar, bass, piano and drums and songwriting, my approach is more well rounded than traditional instruction. A student may struggle on guitar only find that they are more suited to the drums or bass.
I love sharing music. Whether I'm playing my own songs, or playing with other people, teaching kids, or just talking about it. Music is a never ending source of fun and learning.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Find out what the student wants to achieve and help them achieve it. It's pretty simple. Make them feel comfortable and confident. Reassure them when things get hard and congratulate them when there's improvement. Most of all, try to take something that looks insurmountable and show them the steps to overcoming it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been a working musician for 20 years. And more importantly, I love it. And, I love sharing music with people.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing is flexible depending on travel and time of day.
How did you get started teaching?
A friend of mine went on tour and recommended me to a bunch of students. Years later, I went on tour and gave them back!
What types of students have you worked with?
All kinds. From 6 year old kids to 60 year old
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I love singing in the living room with my kids. That's the best kind of teaching.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure you feel comfortable. Try to have fun.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
That depends on the level of the student, but communication is a big part of the student/teacher relationship. I always try to make communication open. If a student feels like they can't express themselves, they are going to have a tough time learning.
