Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy is designed to motivate the student by helping them feel good about himself/herself. When a student is frustrated I encourage him/her to remember why they picked up the guitar in the first place. While I believe in maintaining a consistent practice schedule, the time put in doesn’t have to be massive but it should be consistent and almost daily.Education
B.M. in Jazz Guitar, New England Conservatory. Principal teachers: Gene Bertoncini, Robert Sullivan
