teaching

 

I have been devoted to the study of music and the guitar for more than Twenty Years.

 

Although reaching the highest standards of musicianship and performance continues to be my goal, I’ve found great pleasure in sharing my expertise with students of all ages and different backgrounds, from beginners to advanced. Seeing them blossom with the joy of learning music and helping them find solutions for the many challenges and questions that music presents has been very gratifying.

 

 

I have and still do instruct high school and college level students and I am fully aware of the teacher’s responsibilities in shaping their lives and careers.
