About Me

I've been playing for over 33 years in various genres; everything from Rock n Roll to jazz, and a lot in between.

I myself am a constant student, always exploring new music genres and ideas.

My favorite thing to teach is not just how to play, but to "learn how to learn"....to help students discover their own personal learning process when faced with new challenges. I like to "dissect" exactly what things are made of, and then piece it together in a way that they can apply to just about any musical challenge...be it theory or technique, because the great musicians are always learning. It should never stop.

My goal is to become more and more efficient at getting quickly to the "light bulb" moment, where the student realizes that they've just discovered a new thing. That's always encouraging.
