About Me...

Besides teaching my entire life, I was active as a performer, usually performing with another guitarist or with a flutist. We performed mostly wedding ceremonies, art fairs and private parties. We performed two years at the Meadowbrook Summer Art Fair and regularly played Sunday brunch at The Rhinoceros downtown Detroit and The Gnome, a restaurant in the Majestic Theatre complex on Woodward in Detroit.

My lessons are personalized, to help you learn the mechanics of playing, whatever style you are interested in, Over the years I have created an entire program and include the study sheets you need in my monthly fee. These include all types of chords, how to learn chord changes, chord progressions, dexterity development, specialized studies for necessary skills like legato (hammer-on/Pull-off), bends, vibrato, etc. and if you are interested in mastering the guitar, I use the CAGED chord system and scales (usually pentatonic scales) to lay out the underlying structure of the instrument so you can play the entire neck and not be limited by those first campfire chords you learned. Beginners are most welcome.
