Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
If the student is a beginner, my goal is to make sure that no bad habits are developed. Right from the start we begin with proper posture and proper right and left hand placement. We start by learning some basics: proper fret hand finger placement, holding the pick properly, tuning the guitar, exercises for building finger strength, exercises for building left and right hand coordination, etc. It is important that the student learn the basics of music but at the same time, I keep it interesting by introducing well known songs that are fun and easy to play. I gradually introduce more challenging material as the student's overall skill continues to develop. If the student already has some experience playing, my approach will be completely different. We begin by determining what the overall goal will be and then I determine what's necessary to reach those goals. Here are a few things that experienced students have asked me to help them with: learn more chords, improve sight reading, learn music theory, learn to apply scales and arpeggios, know how to learn songs quickly and efficiently, learn to keep time, prepare for an audition, improve technique, learn subdivision, work with a metronome and the list goes on and on. There are many factors to consider and I would give a thorough evaluation, so that we can take the proper course of action that will achieve the desired result.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Berklee College of Music
How did you get started teaching?
When I was living in Boston going to Berklee College of Music, I interned and began teaching lessons at a local church. I found that I had a natural knack for teaching and found that I have a lot of patience for it. I enjoy watching students grow and get better under my guidance.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with beginner, intermediate and advanced students. I like to teach children as young as seven, teenagers and adults. I have also worked with retired individuals who have taken on the challenge of learning to play guitar for the first time in their lives; I've had great success with many of them. It's all about being patient and letting the student go at his or her own pace.
