I try to understand what a student wants to learn. We discuss certain directions and goals that the student has. I may make suggestions as to songs or pieces to work on. I'm very open to concerns or problems the student wants to address.
I use a combination of learning songs from recordings, sheet music or simple teaching by demonstrating. I think playing together is beneficial and fun. I love all kinds of music.
Many types of students. Jazz , Rock, Blues, Acoustic Guitar, Solo Guitar. All ages and levels.
Talk to the teacher. Try a lesson. Try to be clear about what you want to learn and what direction you want to in. Go with what feels right.
On September 9 2017 ( this past weekend ) there was a world premeire of a film for which I wrote and performed the soundtrack. P.T. Barnum: The Lost Legend - at the Coney Island Film Festival.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What do I want to learn? What music do I like? What are some goals I have?
