Lessons
One of my main focuses as a musician is the distribution of knowledge and experience through private lessons. I have taught hundreds of students over the years, continue to teach privately, and do clinics for students all over Arizona.
My recent motivation, in addition to publishing a series of printed method books, is to make the lessons, concepts, and songs that I teach availiable to students all over the world in the form of a multi-media template delivers lessons to students through my website in a variety of forms from audio and video to printable music notation.
