About
I Take time with my students. Those who study and practice regularly move on quicker than those who do not. Now with that being said, I take my time making sure the student understands the concepts fully before moving on.
I love seeing the AHAH Moment with students. Its always rewarding to watch a student understand the concepts given to them and be able to put them into practice. I usually work with students over the age of 35.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure the teacher is willing to work with what you want to learn. Don't get a teacher who wants you to start from the beginning even if your a seasoned veteran player. Also, make sure you teacher is adimint about teaching you the notes ON THE GUITAR. Most wont even know them.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
How far am I on my journey of playing? How far do I want to go? Do I want to become a master, or am I looking to know a few chords to play around the campfire with my friends? All of this will depend on what you learn from your teacher and how much you will need to practice
