About Robert

I have been teaching full time since 2005. More than twenty years! I have taught hundreds of students of all ages and so many backgrounds. I teach what the students wants to learn, not what the teachers wants to teach. I strive to keep things simple. I teach all styles except classical. My availability is online five days a week. In person at Open Chord in West Knoxville and at LeGrand Music Studios in Fountain City.

It is a sincere privilege to teach others, to pass on the knowledge that I have gained over the years as a student, performer, and teacher.

I retired from my day job in Oak Ridge Tennessee when I became eligible for "early retirement" so I could pursue playing and teaching music full time .

The best career decision I ever made!

Seven decades of life experience

Five decades of playing experience.

Twenty+ years of full-time teaching experience.

About the lesson

The first lesson is free for the asking. Consider it a risk free 'meet and greet'. We discuss what the student wants to learn. We then work together on a path forward that is best for the student. For adults I do not have a prescribed curriculum. For younger folks (6 to 14) I prefer to use the Hal Leonard Guitar Method books 1 through 3. They are reasonably paced and provide a solid musical foundation to the student upon completion.

All kinds from age six to mid seventies. I have taught folks with disabities, i have taught folks with years of playing experience. In my 20+ years of teaching i have had the privilege of teaching hundreds of students with different interests and backgrounds.

Ask any and all questions. Be curious and do not settle. This is why I offer the first lesson free. It is not enough to give the student information. Rather it requires that the student and the teacher communicate well enough with each other for the student to truly absorb the information provided and hopefully be inspired by it.

Seeing folks over the years from Tommy Emmanuel to Carlos Santana live at the Tennessee or Bijou Theatre in Knoxville. Wonderful local venue.

Recently had the pleasure of performing at Mickey's Place with Roger Hay. One of the most fun times ever -

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Give some thought to what you want to get out of lessons. This helps us outline a path forward. I teach what the student wants to learn. I strive to make it simple.
