About

About

I’ve been playing guitar passionately for nearly 20 years and have experience performing and recording in a wide variety of styles.
I love to teach anyone who has a keen interest in music, beginners or advanced players.

My teaching method varies from student to student, and is completely oriented around their individual goals as a musician.

Areas of study which I find students particularly benefit from are ear training, theory of harmony, improvisation and composition since these can be interpreted and implemented in a personal style by the player.

I can help students with their music whether it is on electric or acoustic guitar, pick or finger style, and pretty much any genre- rock, pop, jazz, blues and classical music are all wonderful to me.
