My Approach

Start With Songs

Music lessons often start with scales, rudiments, metronomes. If that's what you want, cool! We can do that.

For most of us, scales didn't inspire us to play. Songs did. So that's usually where I start.

Let's find a song you love that uses two or three chords and learn to play it. Then let's take those chords and learn another song, maybe adding a new chord or technique along the way.

We keep building from there, always for the joy therein.
