About

My teaching approach:

I teach classical guitar as it should be taught. The student learns to make music, not just play the guitar. Technique, form, tone production, musicality and reading are stressed. All levels are taught. I offer individual lessons,as well as performance, reading and ensemble classes.

My influences are:

Andres Segovia, Alexander Bellows, John Williams, Julian Bream, Joe Pass, Jim Hall and B.B.King.

My guitar lessons take place in:

The teacher's studio

Guitar Techniques:

Fingerstyle, Performance, Reading Music, Scales and Exercises

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:

I start with notes, exercises, form, use of hands, how to approach the guitar, and how to learn starting on day one. I assess the students ability by seeing what his or her hands can do, and how interested he or she is.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:

Warm up with scales and exercises, listening to and working with student on pieces in progress or new repertoire. Discussion of technique, how to practice, how to improve. how to stay relaxed while playing.

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:

Trusts my knowledge, expertise and teaching ability. Practices and finds himself or herself enjoying the experience while learning to play classical guitar.
