Guitar Lessons

When it comes to guitar I try to evaluate the interests of each individual student.  I have a broad approach to teaching guitar, with a personal background in rock, jazz, and blues styles.  I also try to include music theory as I believe it is integral to developing an understanding to music and proper musicianship.

Once a basic understand of any instrument is reach you may then branch off to a specific style or genre.  Always keep in mind the value of incorporating bits and pieces from other musical styles .

Drum Lessons

Drums are the rhythmic backbone to any band/group.  Drum have the ability to make people dance.  The nature of any drum or percussive instrument is to cut through the other instruments and punch out a solid groove.

I work on three points when it comes to teaching drums:  drum sticking and rudiments, steady timing utilizing a variety of drum beats and styles, and musicianship (how to play with others, dynamic control, etc.).

Bass Lessons
I love bass.  It's the instrument I have the most practical experience playing live.  I play both Upright Bass and Electric Bass Guitar, but my forte is the Bass Guitar.

The bass player shares the feel/groove with the drummer.  The bass is part of the rhythm section and requires a strong send of time.  I work with bass players at understanding how to fill out a chord progression while maintaining a solid sense of time/rhythmic integrity.  There is a music and TAB reading component, as with any instrument I teach.
