About

Fun Style! I teach YOUR favorite music, starting with the easiest and working up from there. Along the way I teach the basics of music in general, on Guitar, Bass, Vocals, Mandolin or Ukulele in particular. I have some very cool tools and resources to share.

Music Theory is one of my specialties, offered to those who want that; but most players want to play their favorite SONGS, which most often happens quickly. We keep it fun, and play, play, play!

I've been playing for over 4 1/2 decades, originally with many bands; I've taught guitar/bass/vocals/mandolin/ukulele to hundreds of players of all levels and ages here in Colorado Springs since 2005.

I love seeing my players' eyes light up when they realize that the Universe of Music has opened up to them, and they can do it too!
