Mission Statement

As a teacher I focus on pointing each student toward the music they want to create or recreate.  Typical styles would include Country and Western, Rock, Folk, Jazz, Blues, Soul, R&B, Reggae and many others.  I'll work with each student to break down the components of what they'd like to learn and develop a fun and rewarding practice regimen.  Music theory is also something I enjoy introducing to students as it can be a means to understanding and experiencing the vast possibilities of expression on the guitar.  I offer both individual and group lessons depending on the need of the student.  I've spent many years playing guitar and I want to share what I've learned and apply it to what you want to achieve musically.  I also tend to learn a great deal from my students during the creative interaction of teaching.  My journey as a player and performer can be found here.  I strive to build creative, vital and authentic relationships with each of my students, as, I find this to be the foundation for a powerful learning experience.

As a player, songwriter and teacher I’m interested in exploring options and making informed, creative and organic choices. I’m as interested in what isn’t played and why as in what is played. I’m an avid listener of many styles of music and focus on the role of the guitar in serving the song and integrating into an ensemble music approach. I have a huge appreciation of the trust placed in me as a teacher and seek to honor it thoroughly in the most respectful and helpful manner possible. As a teacher I’m very dedicated to helping students discover and develop their own authentic “voice” on the instrument. I particularly enjoy working with songwriters in a closer investigation of the guitar as it relates to composition in an effort to maximize the options of expression available to an artist. To me space truly is the final frontier and I am constantly challenging myself to find new ways to provide space in both my music and the music of those with whom I play. I like to look at it as sonic feng shui.
