But enough about me...  What do you want to learn?

I tailor my teaching style to each student's individual musical tastes and interests.

The students goals are absolutely the first thing to understand.  Once we define those together, it's all about the songs!  Whether it's teaching by example or composing together.  That is the ultimate reason we play.

It should also always be about the songs!  Whether they are composed by us or it is someone else's composition that we want to play.
