PHILOSOPHY
Students learn quickly and painlessly when they are interested and excited about a subject. With that in mind I emphasize playing "real" songs as quickly as possible. In addition, I teach music fundamentals as they relate to the style of the student's choice. The goal is to make the learning process fun, rewarding and successful.
- Individualized curriculum tailored to the wants and needs of each student.
- Learning real songs that apply music theory concepts.
- Reading music.
- Ear Training:
- Learn how to get the music you "hear" in your head to come out of your instrument.
- Learn how to play your favorite songs by ear.
- Improvisation: Learn how to create guitar solos "on the spot" using your imagination.
