Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I find out what kind of music and styles the student is interested in. I also emphasize understanding how the guitar and music works so the student has the tools to explore on her/his own.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been a professional guitarist for over 30 years and have taught students of all ages for about that long.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $80 and hour for lessons at my home and $100 to travel to a student's home. However I can be flexible in pricing if that doesn't meet your budget.
How did you get started teaching?
Teaching was a natural outgrowth of playing after a certain amount of study and experience. I was initially asked for lessons by individuals and it felt like a natural outgrowth of my musical life.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've taught students from age 6 to adults.
