Essential Eccentricities: These are my core teaching beliefs
Confidence Building – Help you develop the belief in your own ability to create and play music. We often doubt ourselves, I won’t let you.
Creativity – Encourage you to explore your unique sound, styles, and ideas from day one. I will teach you how to express those ideas.
Autonomy – Empower you to make decisions about your learning journey, such as song choices and techniques you want to focus on. I want you to play the music that you want to play.
Technique & Fundamentals – While always allowing freedom, you’ll still focus on building essential skills like chords, scales, rhythm, and picking patterns.
Music Theory in Context – Teaching music theory through the lens of the music you love, integrating concepts into your favorite songs and styles. Theory is more interesting and less overwhelming when taught through your unique musical lens.
