Guitar Lessons!

As an educator, I’ve taught guitar for years. I discovered a deep passion for teaching in high school when I started giving lessons at my local music store. Ever since I’ve been committed to exploring the music that inspires and motivates my students and developing pedagogical concepts that can be applied to all ages and ability levels. 

My approach to teaching is based primarily on the interests of each student. I believe firmly that there is no one method that can fit the needs of every student. Early lessons are spent honing in on the music that each student most identifies with, whether it be pop, rock, blues, jazz, bossa nova, etc. 

I challenge each of my students to think about what it is that the essence of their favorite music communicates. What does the music that truly understands you have that other music does not? Once that question is answered, the learning process can take shape, aimed at finding that essence within each student, and bringing it out through their music.
