I design lessons to teach what a student comes to class to learn on any type of guitar. I also have structured formal lessons for teaching the guitar as a musical instrument. I use approved teaching material as well as my own material, experience, musical rapport and teaching style.

A professional performing/recording musician, I've taught music and instruments for a decade; I've been on stage and in concerts performing for 20 yrs and currently have two performing stage bands and am a performing classical guitarist.  My students learn many tricks-of-the-trade they won't learn anywhere else and get live performance experience. I'm classically trained and a bachelor degree music major. I began playing and studying guitar when I was 9 yrs old and understand the excitement of learning about music and the guitar as a young student.

My teaching methods and experience help students learn quickly and also to play the guitar correctly with an understanding of the instrument and music.

Arizona Music Academy is an excellent music school and facility for piano, vocal instruction, all of the band and orchestra instruments, as well as for guitar, bass, and drums. The AMA staff and other music instructors are proficient and professional. Arizona Music Academy is conveniently located in the NW corner of McClintock and Elliot roads in Tempe.
