My teaching style can best be described as Energetic based on the fact that Sports and Music compliment each other, and these are two of the best activities one can do. My teaching philosophy can best be described by saying that I believe Music energizes you, and allows you to do a particular Sport longer and better e.g. you will have a better Basketball Training-session if you do it while listening to Energizing-Music. In my lessons, you can expect to learn Electric-Guitar-Techniques, Music-Theory, Intervalls, Proper Guitar-Tone, Songwriting-Techniques. I like to tell my students that doing Sports is one of the best things in Life. My favorite thing about teaching is helping others find their own sound. My favorite performance was in front of my Family, when we were able to laugh and be in a positive and healthy mood. My students love that I link Music to Science by explaining that each Tone played correlates to a certain Frequency, a Physical-Property of Soundwaves. I primarily teach the Electric-Guitar my Equipment is a Fender 57 Twin Amp, and a Stratocaster/Les Paul E. Guitar, but I can also teach Songwriting and Music-Theory. My approach as a teacher is to be friendly to one another. Thanks for taking a look at my profile. Hope to meet you soon! Formal Education: 1.
