History
I taught for over 5 years at Lyon & Healy in Chicago, and when my wife Diane and I moved to the West Coast I decided to teach private lessons on my own. I taught and performed in San Diego for 34 years and have recently relocated to Renton WA. Over the years I have given over 20,000 lessons to students of all ages and musical tastes.
Specialties
My 43 years as a guitar and bass teacher have impressed me with the need to provide a well rounded approach to playing. Too many guitar teachers ignore the important tool of reading music, and those that do sometimes do so at the expense of spontaneity.Both of these aspects are important and neither should be ignored. I believe that I offer the most comprehensive approach so the student can apply it to whatever style of music they like, I can help anyone be a better guitar player, but I specialize in helping people who think they can't play to learn that they can.
