FullCircleGuitar

Over the twenty years I've been teaching, my teaching approach has evolved into what I now call Full Circle Guitar. The idea is simply taking a mandala (circle), imagining the student in the center, isolating and developing the eight areas I believe are the most important, and facilitating an intuitive growth process that can make a student into a well-rounded musical entity.

I've taught from ages four (though I prefer students to be at least seven) to sixty six and really enjoy the perspectives I glean from different age groups. I also like to stretch my students' ears by exposing them to different players and styles of music that aren't so easy to encounter in day-to-day life. I have several mix CDs I've compiled and will often make listening assignments part of my curriculum.

The core equipment I require of students is simply a guitar and a desire to learn. In addition to various method books, other equipment I recommend acquiring include a metronome, a tuner (or pitch pipes or tuning fork) and some manuscript/tablature paper.

For more information please call 505.699.5470 and I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have and hopefully get you plugged into my schedule. I can also be reached electronically. Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from you! :)
