FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First lesson is an intro to the instrument and goal-setting along with a simple first assignment. For more advanced players I'll get a skills assessment and determine a practice curriculum for them, perhaps set some more challenging goals.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.A. in music with an emphasis in classical and jazz guitar, piano and vocal pedagogy. I have also performed music for 30 years as a rock, blues and bluegrass player. For my students I hold three student concerts a year and I find that preparing and Performing for these concerts is an excellent tool for them excelling at their instrument.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always loved working with people, teaching, and playing music, so it seemed simple to combine all the elements into one profession.
