I have been involved in recording sessions and performances, have composed, and helped lead an ensemble which toured the United States and Europe. As a teacher, my purpose is to teach guitar and music theory in a professional manner in accordance with my training and experience. I desire to help each student make consistent improvement and maintain high standards for his or her playing. I teach the Suzuki Method to my young students. It's classical training based on lots of listening and on using fun and helpful teaching aids.
All students learn to read music.
Adult students are encouraged to branch out into jazz and blues and are placed in groups which perform ensemble arrangements. The Electric Guitarists will perform songs from the 50's and 60's.
