As a teacher, my aspiration is to encourage mastery of material, transference of skills, and instill the desire for life-long learning. Becoming a successful musician requires all these skills. Each student will find that having a career in music is a unique experience and cannot be compared with all other musicians. Fostering communication, respect, and critical thinking is what I strive for in the private studio. I guide students on their journey learning music with the hopes that along the way, they learn how to teach themselves to become a life long learner.

Having taught hundreds of students over the past 30 years, I approach each lesson and student individually. My goal is to find the best way that you learn so I can present the material in a way that connects with you, the student. My approach to guitar pedagogy is informed by my studies in jazz, classical, popular, and world music. Having a studied all of these styles provides me with the ability to approach musical topics from several angles with the hopes of relating the material in a way that best suites the student.
