About
I can guarantee success to anyone.
I teach in the privacy of your home.
My emphasis is on fundamental skills and terchniques.
It is an easy step-by-step course.
You will learn to play by ear as well as by note.
My course includes theory, composition, arranging, improvising and expression.
I am a professional performer with degrees in music and in education with 45 years of experience.
One of my students won best overall in a Washington state guitar competition. Another was awarded a gold seal for his piano performance in the Seattle Young Artists Music Festival.
After trying to reach 30 or more students in a classroom, I find getting to really know students as individuals and working with them one-on-one is much more satisflying for both of us.
I believe one of my strongest assets is my ability to problem solve and thereby impart to all my students the pleasure of practicing with a minimum of struggle and frustration.
