  • The same one-hour class is taught on several nights during the week
  • Show up to the one that best fits your schedule
  • Material for multiple skill levels, so you're always working at your level
  • Learn from others' questions and experiences
  • Measure your progress in comparison to your peers
  • Take part in lots of FUN activities!

Rotating Format - Monthly (4-week) Courses

Beginning January, 2010:

This program runs on a monthly 4-week cycle of hour-long sessions, combining several teaching formats to give you a wide range of benefits:

Week 1:   Introduction to the monthly topic, mostly consisting of any or all of the following:

  • Written and/or Verbal Explanation (In-Person or Audio or Video Recording, depending on the specific topic) of the Topic and its Purpose, 
  • Live Demonstration of Examples of the Techniques and/or Concepts being Discussed
  • Audio Accompaniment Practice Tracks (MP3 Format) to take home familiarize yourself with and practice along to during the following week
  • Initial Written Materials (Text, Sheet Music, Tablature, Lead Sheets, and/or Fretboard Diagrams) to take home for later reference

Week 2:  Group Class #1:  Application

  • Review of Week 1 Topic
  • Q&A Session
  • Activities focused on learning how to apply the ideas musically

Week 3:  Overlapping Half-Hour Semi-Private Lessons

  • Each student meets with me for one half-hour lesson
  • The time slots overlap, which allows you and the students to benefit from each others' knowledge
  • More Q&A on a more focused, personal level than Week 2
  • More focus on applying the knowledge from Weeks 1 & 2
  • Preparation & Preview for Week 4

Week 4:  Group Class #2:  Integration
