Teaching Philosophy
While taking lessons from me you will learn full songs, chord progressions, strumming patterns, riffs, barre chords, scales, chord scales and other universal music theory subjects in both standard music notation and TAB guitar notation.
I emphasize rhythm with all of my students. Anyone can play out of tune and get away with it, but if their timing is off they will not be able to play with anyone or even convince an audience on their own. I began musical life as a drummer. The same principles of drumming apply to guitar and I teach that way. None of my students leave their lessons without learning what it means to play in time.
I give out lesson sheets on strumming pattern theory, how to navigate the fretboard with barre chords, scales, fingerpicking patterns, rasgueado technique, and reading rhythm notation.
At the end of the day I want to meet the student where they are and work with them to increase their skills so they can fit music into their lifestyle and inspire others. Music is just a different language that anyone can learn to speak.
