Approach To Teaching: I like to find out exactly what it is the students wants and needs are and setup individualized lesson plans to help them achieve their goals. I like to keep a well balanced approach to teaching theory while teaching them the music or songs they want to learn. The ultimate goal for me to them, is to get the student to work on their own by using the tools I show them in their lessons.
In My Own Words: “A guitarists can never have to many guitars or sunglasses”. – Richie Sambora. Music is essentially life, it inhales and exhales. Its the worlds natural heartbeat. Without I feel I wouldn’t exist.
