Results -- In many cases, I've succeeded where others (including many other "name" instructors) have failed. "Teachers teach the way they've been taught," and my own academic background (Berklee, Duquesne University, Cincinnati College-Conservatory) has been both intensive and highly structured. I also believe that my training in music theory has given me an analytic edge in my teaching -- I'm very skilled in pinpointing physical/musical problems and plotting a structured path that works for the needs of the individual student. To this, I designed, implemented, and taught the program in Guitar performance at West Virginia University at both undergraduate and graduate levels (1994 through 2018). I'm currently a professor of Guitar at Waynesburg University in Pennsylvania.
