For me, one of the greatest things about music is the shared experience of creating it with others. My teaching approach emphasizes this shared experience and from the very beginning we'll make music together. Being able to read music, both in standard notation and tablature form, is a very important skill to have because it opens you up to a whole world of musical resources and oppor- tunities, and I emphasize this as well.

My students are generally adult, and interested in folk and bluegrass fiddling rather than traditional classical training. If you're looking for a more traditional approach, I'll be happy to refer you to some good teachers. For younger students, the Suzuki approach is a very good choice, and there are many good instructors in the area.

I regret that I'm unable to accept any new students at this time, and hope to offer lessons again in the near future.
