As a guitar instructor with a proven track record at Jupiter Academy of Music and Absolute Music Studios, I excel in curriculum development and adaptive teaching methods. My students range from 5 to 85 years old. I work with beginners and gigging professionals, as well as individuals with various special needs. I am known for collaborating with students to create a personal lesson plan that fits their learning style and skill level. My expertise in the ability to foster strong relationships have significantly contributed to student success, evidenced by their consistent practice habits and improved skills. With over forty years of stage experience as a professional performing guitarist, along with a deep understanding of music theory and application, I am able to share "real world" guitar and performance techniques with every student.
