I have been teaching guitar and trumpet for over 40 years, drawing on extensive performance experience in jazz, blues, rock, country, and other musical styles. My teaching approach combines practical playing techniques with solid music theory, helping students develop a strong foundation while enjoying the learning process.
A typical lesson begins with a warm-up, followed by technique exercises, repertoire building, and improvisation practice. I adapt each lesson to the student’s level and goals, whether they are beginners, intermediate learners, or advanced players seeking to refine their skills.
What sets me apart is my versatility as a professional performer, my emphasis on both reading standard notation and tablature, and my focus on helping students play music they truly enjoy. Lessons are suitable for students of all ages and levels, from complete beginners to aspiring performers.
