My Teaching Philosophy
From Beginners to the most advanced musicians......
Patience is everything in the best of teachers!!
Each lesson is Catered to every student........... no matter what age, level, or style. Specializing in Technique, Harmony, Reading, Ear Training, Composition, Concept, Song Writing, and Improvisation!!!
With over 20 years of experience.... the most important aspect of teaching is understanding the needs of the individual student no matter what they might be looking for musically. Guitar is an instrument that should be taught, from the students perspective, with the assurance that he/she has a teacher able to progressively take them as far as they would like to go in any musical environment!
