How do I ensure results for his students?

Whether you just want to talk about guitar pedals, or you're dedicated to being a world class musician, I draw on over 15 years of experience as a coach and a working musician. Every lesson & each course of study is tailored to meet the needs and goals of each individual student. Some students just want to have fun and play covers alone in their room. Others want to join a band, or write their own songs. And still others need to land auditions for bands, films, or music degree programs in schools like Berklee & USC. I teach people how to get results based on a combination of intuition and actual science. Studies shows that athletes and musicians alike see big results from short, efficient, regular practice. I teach the art of fun practice. Read more in the Blog.
