In Their Own Words

In private lessons, I think the important thing is not to approach a student with a set list of things that you feel that they need. I think it's more important to try to figure out where the student's heading. If they've got something already started, I feel it's my responsibility to enhance that, not to pull them away from it with material that might have been important to me, but might not be important to them. I also conduct a wide variety of labs, ranging from advanced harmonic and improvisational concepts to recording techniques for guitarists.

My years of TV scoring, live performance, and studio production have had me functioning in quite a wide range of musical situations and genres, and I love sharing these experiences with my students.
