ROCK SCHOOL
I manage, design, and teach the "Rock School" program at Naperville Music. It's an all-ages, get-your-band-off-the-ground course.
PRIVATE LESSONS
I have been playing guitar for 21 years, and teaching for 11 years. I teach in Chicago (near Western & Division), and in Naperville.
I teach electric and acoustic guitar, electric bass, ukulele, and piano, as well as music theory, business, & technology.
Here's a bit more detail;
I teach a wide variety of styles and techniques. My focus is on rock, metal,
pop and folk; I teach beginner country, jazz, and classical as well.
I also teach music theory, writing, basic voice,
ear training, sight reading, instrument maintenance/repair/modification,
and music technology (recording, live sound, synthesis, analog and digital signal processing, distortion, etc.).
I've studied music with Dave Uhrich, Adam St. James, Mike Aquino, Ken Paoli, James Phelps, and Peter Middleton.
My students
range in age from 7 to 75, with skill levels and musical tastes all across
the board. As a teacher, I am very goal oriented and flexible -- if you have
specific goals in mind, let me know. Wherever you want to go, I'll help get you there,
and if I can't, I know someone who can.
I've gigged at a wide variety of venues, including The Metro, Lincoln Hall, and Wicker Park's Green Fest.
