My teaching method depends on the age of the student and on the level of technical profiency. I have a compassionate approach since the majority of my current students are amateurs and children. The amateurs range in age from19 to 75 so I use a variety of method books and repertoire to accomandate their needs, For the children I use the method I contributed to the FJH Basic Guitar Method.
