Introduction: My specialty is creating lessons and programs that are custom tailored to the needs of the individual student. Since no two people have identical interests or abilities, I don't rely on standard publications to get the job done. I create my own materials that are designed to be adapted to the individual. Using this approach, I am able to help my students build on their unique strengths to ensure rapid progress and meaningful musical growth. The best thing about being a guitar teacher is getting to see a student make real progress and become the player that they have always wanted to be. In my career so far, I have seen a few of my students go from absolute beginners to professional players over a period of years, with is awesome, but I get just as much satisfaction from seeing a kid build the skills they need to play their favorite songs just to have fun.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes. As a musician I am committed to a lifetime of study, not only for professional development, but also for personal musical fulfillment. Since graduating from Berklee College of Music in 1994, I have returned to graduate school earning a Master's degree in Music Education from Boston University. In addition to my degrees, and by far the most important education I have received is the 5 years of private study in improvisation that I completed with the legendary master, Charlie Banacos.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been studying and performing music all of my life. I first started teaching guitar lessons when I was a teenager, helping my peers hone their basic skills. By the time I was studying at Berklee, I was tutoring other music students in all areas of music composition and guitar playing. I found that I was able to communicate with other musicians in a way that helped them truly understand important concepts and make meaningful progress toward their goals. When I graduated from Berklee in 1994, I started teaching guitar lessons full time, and have been fortunate to build a successful career helping people have fun playing music.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
It's important to remember that a great player may or may not be a great teacher. Teaching music requires a specialized set of skills in addition to the ability to play your instrument.
