About

My teaching approach:

I have been teaching guitar for over two years. I have had students from 6 - 60. I specialize in classical guitar, but I have plenty of experience teaching and performing various styles including rock, jazz, folk, finger picking, and percussive steel string. In addition to these playing styles I also teach music theory, and song writing.

My influences are:

Radiohead, Steve Howe, Sonic Youth, J.S. Bach (I have a tattoo of his portrait!) Francisco Tarrega, Kaki King, Antoine Dufour.

My guitar lessons take place in:

The teacher's studio or the student's home

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:

I like to give my student a guitar and show them something simple to play write away, no sheet music, no theory, no interview. It's a nice shock to a beginners system to see what playing a guitar actually feels like. After that I ask them why they are here, and I proceed to explain some fundamentals. You will never leave my lesson without something to work on.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:

I believe that good technique is essential, but is only a means to an end. In addition to teaching you what to practice, I will teach you how to practice, and how it ties in to what you love. Each student has different goals, and each student is at a different level, and a different age. Each lesson has it's own personal charm.

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

Someone who asks a lot of questions when they have them. Someone who isn't afraid to try things their not good at yet.
