Teaching Philosophy


I tailor lessons to your needs. We start where you are and move forward.


We discover what you love about music and tailor the lessons to get you where you can play what you love. It’s important to me that you feel comfortable and relaxed while learning.


Expect to come to lessons with favorite songs that you want to start playing as soon as you can.


I use tab for teaching so you can get to work on your favorite songs as soon as possible.


Once we’ve worked together for a while, I also keep you on your toes so that you don’t fall into practicing ruts.

I bring to my teaching over 30 years of experience in the music business. Learn more about my music career here.
