About Steven

Q - What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

A - We'll begin playing a song right away! We'll discuss your favorite artists and pick a song to use as a case study. Whatever your skill level and goals, we'll address physical technique, musical interpretation vs imitation, and relevant underlying music theory.

Q - What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

A - I have a rich history of playing solo and with bands. I toured nationally 2010-2011 as lead guitarist for a parachurch youth conference. I've worked with a handful of musicians out of Nashville, touring, writing and teaching. I've done countless hours of solo performance (singing and playing acoustic) locally and throughout the country. I have about 4 semesters worth of formal music education. And I've played with dozens of church bands over the years. I currently play for my church and with local gigging bands in Indiana.

Q - How did you get started doing this type of work?

A - I learned my first chords on an acoustic guitar from a camp counselor at age 13. I quickly fell in love and set out to master both acoustic and electric. I played guitars, bass and drums for a couple churches through my teen years, so I became very attuned to the "big picture" when it comes to making music. I started teaching formally around 2013, living in Nashville and becoming eager to work with budding musicians. I thrive on connecting with people over music and chasing excellence in this art form!

Q - What types of customers have you worked with?

A - SO many, from ages 5 to 70! Most are very much beginners; some haven't touched a guitar until their first lesson with me. Some are more advanced players, ready to dive into some deeper concepts and really hone something unique -- I hope to get there with all my students! I've also taught and tutored all ages in other academic areas -- English/writing, Hebrew, Greek, theology, etc -- so my teaching style and sense are fairly well-sharpened.

Q - Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

A - Right now I'm working with a teen who loves music and experiments with it a bit on social media, and wants to incorporate guitar into what he does. We've discussed chords a bit, and we just started exploring the major scale in the last couple weeks. He's learning how to work out a melody by ear, and see the importance of the major scale. His excitement for it has been especially encouraging to me over the last couple months.

Q - What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

A - Find someone who inspires you! Everyone is motivated by different things, I make it my goal to find what really trips your trigger and help you become a participant in what you love, rather than a mere observer. But find someone who gets you excited to get moving and keep at it.
