I have 25 years experience teaching kids and adults guitar. Also performing live and in the studio.

*** Lesson Details ***

My objectives: to help students powerfully communicate through the essence of music and aid the development of children and adults by finding their strengths and weaknesses and to develop their skills and show their musical talents. I emphasize basic skills, good sight-reading, guitar technique, and theory.

Lessons are held using composers from various time periods that speaks to the individual student.

A lesson may be 10-15 min. for warm-ups and scales, 10-15 min. theory and rest playtime. In three to six months the student will reach their goals

An intermediate lesson has more focus on music and technique from a specific genre. A specialty is preparation for guitar auditions, doing live or studio gigs, playing professionally or scale your music income,

*** Specialties ***

I also have new techniques for teaching Electric, Acoustic and Classical Guitar.
