Methods


 My trademark for teaching is that I have developed my own in-depth and compressive curriculum to teach with. Some of these curriculums have been turned into method books for a number of instruments and for specific playing styles. I am prepared for years and years; to work through a proven system with each student. All this original material suits the needs of several different types of learners, players and people. These experiences and resources have helped me bring out the best in my tens of thousands of students throughout the years.
