Teaching Experience
I’ve been playing the guitar for 35 years and teaching full time for 20. While in my early teens I studied with George Hanepen, a local guitar player whose teaching emphasized reading, theory, and improvisation. After high school I studied at the College of San Mateo. In 1988 I began working for From The Heart Music, an after school music program based in San Mateo. During this time I was working with as many as 60 students a week, often in group settings with students of varying levels of experience. Since 2001 I’ve been teaching out of Clocktower Music in San Carlos. The types of music I love the most are classic rock, Americana roots music, jazz, blues, folk and country.
