| My formal training consists of a BA in Creative Arts with a minor in Elementary Art Teaching and a focus in Music received from Northern Arizona University. I studied under Artist in Residence Tom Sheeley, a world-class professional classical guitarist long-known for his mastery of the instrument. Prior to university-level training, I studied under several instructors and attended various clinics in jazz and classical music theory and performance. I continue to challenge myself with performance and lessons to the present, broadening my repertoire and abilities. |
| My instruction consists of a large variety of texts, depending on the style and level of the student. This can range from rock tablature, jazz charts, classical methodology, or beginning music fundamentals. I provide all materials free with the paid lessons in the form of paper copies and cd/dvd's. Suggested additional equipment are a metronome and tuner. I charge $30/lesson. Each lesson is approximately 30-40 minutes. I travel to the student's location, travel expenses included for the majority of the San Francisco Bay area. Occasionally, I may need to incur a travel fee, but I always try to avoid this. 4 Prepaid lessons are $100 (you save $20!). |
