Experience and Lesson Plan

I have over 15 years experience playing the guitar and about 5 years teaching experience. I also play the drums, bass and sing. Often times I find lessons are a very personalized thing. Everyone has certain songs they want me to figure out for them. I am more than happy to do this because one of my main goals is to help the student develop their ear. My curriculum also focuses on composition of music early to ensure the student is writing their own songs in no time. For beginning students basic chords, picking techniques and song structure will be taught and practiced. For intermediate students scales, speed exercises, as well as harmonics and arpeggio sweeps for more advanced students. My goal is to give my students an understanding of everything from the mechanics of a guitar to the finer points of playing one as quickly as possible.
