Sometimes even the brightest, most gifted individuals need a little help to get going in the right direction with something new.

The undeniable advantage of taking one-on-one lessons with a qualified teacher is that it drastically reduces the time required by the self-teaching/ trial and error method. Neither books CDs DVDs nor YouTube can correct or advise you.

Affordable, safe, convenient, educational and FUN Skype or Zoom lessons are available for $16.25 for 30 minutes.

Using music from Tin Pan Alley, Vaudeville, Speakeasies, Pre-code Hollywood and Broadway I teach theory, technique and repertoire.

These songs were selected because they follow a predictable pattern known as the circle of 5ths .

Predictable chord progressions allow the student to learn not only individual songs but how dozens operate.

This process is a combination of detailed explanation, micro managing the geometry and gymnastics of hand movements and monkey see monkey do.
I have 25 yrs experience teaching music and have enjoyed great success teaching students from those in pre-school to graduates of medical school.

1) The student learns the chords that harmonize the melody
2) a strum pattern to create rhythm and count measures (keep time)
3) how syllables in the lyrics are aligned with individual strums in the pattern so they can not only accompany themselves on their instrument but also
fit into a larger musical situation
