I am a guitar player with a foundation in music theory and improvisation. My experience is both academic and practical. I have taken music theory in college, and have played in several working bands. I have given lessons for 7 years. My total student count is in the range of 50 to 70 students. My current students range from beginner to advanced. The high school students have used my instruction in their school music classes to earn honors.
Education
Guitar player with 30+ years of varied professional playing experience. Teaching individual students out of my studio.
Certificates
My approach to teaching is to give students a three pronged approach. First, a musical understanding as their foundation, second an emphasis on ear training and third a direct application of these to the technique of playing the instrument musically, integrating all of the above into their playing. Finally, listening and responding to my students,
giving them the voice to express their goals and desires is primary. Having fun while learning is always my objective as this creates motivation and excitement as my students progress. I am in the Columbia SC area, and give lessons in my home studio.
