If they are a beginning student the first question I ask is "what prompted you to want to play the guitar?" Then I determine what music interests them so I can relate to them musically.

After I see how the instrument fits them and their initial capabilities I will design a teaching curriculum that is song based but includes learning and understanding chords, technique, rhythm, soloing and basic harmony. For the younger ones I use various method books that include reading notes and chords. 

I keep lessons fun and use new practice technology when applicable to keep students engaged and learning easier and faster.

For the intermediate/advanced player I show them how to organize the neck to learn all of their scales, arpeggios, chord voicings and so they can improvise and jam with others. I teach Jazz, Fusion, Blues, Rock style and others. I do not teach classical guitar.

I am also happy to teach the hobbiest who just wants to learn some songs and play for fun.



Group classes of 5 year olds

Students with attention deficit disorder

Private students ages 5 to 80, beginner to advanced



Look at their credentials, education and how long have they been teaching. Be very specific about what you want to learn, that is very important. Most teachers are known for something they are best at. Dont HIRE someone that is a fingerpicker if you want to learn jazz, ask the teacher what his/her strngths are



I am always excited to see former students working in the music field, one just took the stage with some heavy hitters and really made me smile. 



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out

Are they ready for the commitment

Where do they want to be in 5 years
