What changed my life wasn't that I learned music, but rather that music taught me how to learn.

Enjoying music is the most important part of learning it and sticking to it.

By getting to know you, your musical taste and your expectations, we'll create a custom learning path. You'll gradually and methodically strengthen your fundamentals while mastering the songs, solos, and the repertoire you've always wanted to play.

During our first lesson we'll talk about what you might already know, what you want to know and where you want to go. We'll get you started on some quick exercises to get your fingers moving and nimble. We'll also decide on the first piece of real music for you to start learning.

During our second lesson we'll reinforce the exercises from the first lesson and we might add some new ones on top of them. Then we'll dive right into the music of your choice. I'll teach you not just how to play it, but also how to practice it so that you can progress during your own time.

During our third lesson we'll make sure your finger exercises are progressing properly and then we'll keep drilling down on the music you're learning. We'll build on top of what we already had and add new sections or techniques to it. If you're interested we might start adding some basic music theory so deepen your understanding of music.

From there the sky is the limit.

The best part of teaching music is learning about my students' musical tastes and getting to know new music! All ages are welcome and all genres as well. I look forward to getting to teach you and learn from you.
