I teach safe "In Person" lessons - but just in case you are out of the area...
- I teach great Zoom Remote Lessons also!!
The Remote Lessons work wonderfully well and it's great to see how my students progress to higher levels.
I send pdf and mp3 materials that are applicable to the lessons and have students from San Francisco to Florida and overseas!
I custom design a personalized learning course for each student depending on their skill level, musical interests and goals.
I teach many students how to play songs they like and I improve their right and left hand performance technique while at the same time they are learning essential Music Theory by analyzing the songs Melodically, Harmonically and Rhythmically.
My Songs have been placed and my Guitar work has been featured in Films and Television Shows.
At Berklee, I taught private lessons in guitar and classes in arranging, harmony, ear training and guitar ensembles.
Have Fun while you learn and explore the various aspects of Lead & Rhythm Guitar Playing!
ALL LEVELS: BEGINNING - INTERMEDIATE - ADVANCED
I have students that range from "just starting out" to working Pro Level players!!
All AGES - from Kids to Teens to Adults!!
Improvisation (Playing Solos) for ROCK, BLUES, Jazz and CLASSICAL Musicians is also a specialty.
I make sure the student has a solid foundation in Music Fundamentals upon which he/she if desired, can learn more advanced theory that can be adapted to any instrument or studies in composition and improvisation.
