About
My teaching approach:
All lessons are based on each student’s individual needs. Rusty likes to teach what he calls musicianship; musicianship consists of music theory and technique. Theory teaches you the understanding of how chords, scales, melody and harmony work and technique gives you the physical ability to take the music in your creative mind to your instrument. You could be a musical genius but if you don’t have the physical ability to unlock it no one will ever know. So what are you waiting for schedule your lesson today.
