My Approach To Teaching Guitar... At the early age of 14, I discovered that I had a “knack” for music when I had the opportunity for a friend to show me how to play a few basic chords on his guitar (because I didn’t own one myself). Although press- ing down on the strings hurt my fingertips, and my fingers kept slipping out of position, I fell in love with the guitar’s sound when it all finally came together... Eventually, my mother bought me my first guitar! After time continued to pass, I discovered that what was allowing me to get deeper involved with the guitar was that I was developing an “ear”or “feel” for music which simply means when I heard music, I was able to figure out how to play what I heard - the chord structure, the rhythm, the melody - all without reading music! Now, my plan is to help others discover if they have a “knack”, “ear” or “feel” for playing the guitar, just

Playing professionally on and off for over 30 years, yet, I can help every beginner as well. I've been a professional graphic designer, and professional musician, since 1982. Over the years I've developed a huge bag of tricks and a very wide knowledge of techniques and skills in both areas. while I certainly don't profess to "know it all", I can definitely help anyone with issues in graphic design or the software needed for it, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign.. and I can help even the most confused beginner get started in art or music!

In 2006 I taught graphic design topics at Westwood College. In 2007 I taught the same subject at The Creative Circus (roughly equivalent to an MBA program for designers, writers, photographers, and art directors). In 2008 I taught in the design department for Georgia State University. This summer I traveled to a remote region in India to teach English. I have taught GRE prep for the past 3 years, covering the verbal, quantitative (math), and analytical writing (essay) areas. As a test prep teacher, I have a close knowledge of students' approach to graduate school, and the process of improving their chances of acceptance to schools of choice. I am academically qualified and more especially interested in teaching humanities courses. The method of teaching I prefer is maieutic, i.e., one which draws knowledge from the student, rather than attempts to place it in him/her from without.

My years of experience have taught me that no two students are alike, especially in the 'tutoring' arena. I find the students strengths and create a positive learning environment that students actually enjoy! My students tell me they can't believe how fast the time goes; and look forward to the next lesson. My teaching style creates a feeling of well-being, confidence and self esteem that the student can 'build on' every week. My students leave me each week with a sense of accomplishment and a big smile. And I too, always look forward to the next lesson! My students succeed. I was introduced to teaching as a guitar teacher and loved the field of education ever since. My first school experience was teaching 7th and 8th grade social studies in Queens, N.Y.in 1979. Finally, I found my niche in high school teaching various subjects such as Physical Science, Biology, Social Studies and tutori

I find every student is different & so it is up to me to be able to acclimate to a style that works best for that particular student. Learning music is not easy for someone who has never played an instrument before, so I have to present the information in a way that it is not confusing or overwhelming for the student. Being patient & listening to students is the best approach I can take when teaching new concepts. But teaching goes beyond just being patient, I strive to be positive & I’m always encouraging my students. As a member of a musical family, I grew up w/ a profound passion for creating & understanding music. My first instrument of choice was playing the drums, I started playing when I was 12 years old. Taking lessons from the famed Wilco drummer, Glen Kotche & getting involved with the school Jazz program were highlights from my high school days. I went on to attend the U

I have been playing stringed instruments for 23 years. My main area of focus is the guitar, and I have toured the country playing in groups. I enjoy teaching and have done so for years privately. I currently have students via Skype and have been chosen to teach on the Cayamo singer/songwriter cruise in 2011 after a successful workshop series I had on this year's cruise that featured many of my heroes. My degree in Recording Arts came in handy when I lived in Nashville from 97-2002 where I did session work and recorded with groups in some of the finest studios in the world. I am constantly trying to learn new things in music and have a knack for explaining things in a unique way that makes learning fun. I love to teach and live for those "Ah Ha" moments that happen along the way. I do realize every student is different so I have ways of evaluating what works and customizing the less

The last five years have seen me working in research and development roles, but teaching math and science has always been a dream of mine and it is time for a career change. Having earned BS and MS degrees in materials engineering, my technical education as well as my career have provided almost daily practice of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. I want to not just teach students something, but also show them how and why it is relevant and useful. Aside from my technical background, I am also a semi-professional jazz guitarist of 20 years experience. I have played with many groups of various genres of music over the years, but jazz has been my primary passion since high school and I currently play with a jazz quintet named Style Points. As mentioned above, I want to demonstrate to students the real-world applications of scientific and mathematical principles. This will not only help t
