Guitar Lessons on the Prairies

Growing up on the prairies in a farm community, many of us did not have access to qualified music teachers. Some of us were driven into a city hours away to take lessons, but most just didn't have that option.

Along comes 2023 and we have the technology to offer online lessons in the comfort of your own home.

  • Degree: Licensed Professional Musician and Instrumental educator for Jazz and popular Music FMW Music Academy (Frankfurt, Germany)

    Internship: Audio Engineer (Sky radio, Kasse, Germany)

    Studies in Musicology: Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany)

    At the age of eight, I came across the legendary solos of Brian May in the “Queen” CD collection of my father. I was so fascinated that I picked up the solos on a cassette from all songs and listened to them again and again. My mother finally applied for me to have guitar lessons.

    Over the last ten years I have played in various jazz and rock bands and have toured throughout Europe with my Band “GoRampage”. I have taught Rock Band Programs to children in Germany and Canada, teaching them the skills needed to play and perform well in a rock band.

    I studied music in Germany and I have a recognized Degree as a musician and instrumental music teacher from Germany. (Jazz Guitar Performance Diploma)

    I give lessons to students of all types: beginners and advanced players at all ages. I have been teaching all kinds of Rock, Metal, Jazz, Pop and other genres for over 15 years.

    In my classes, I would like to promote the personal abilities of my students; all students are different. Once a student has discovered the fun and enjoyment of music, the teacher becomes a person to support, guide and inspire. The student will find their own way and music will accompany him forever throughout life.

  • Jazz Guitar Professional Certification (Berklee) &Digital Music Production (Langara College)

    I have successfully attained a Professional Certification in Jazz Guitar from the distinguished Berklee College of Music. Concurrently, I am immersed in a specialized curriculum in Digital Music Production at Langara College, further honing my expertise in the ever-evolving landscape of music technology.

    During my studies with Berklee, I had the privilege of being nurtured under the tutelage of a select group of guitar virtuosos. This immersive experience instilled in me a profound appreciation for pedagogical rigor and a deep-seated commitment to the pursuit of musical excellence. The exacting standards set during my tenure at Berklee have established an exceptionally high benchmark for my musical education.

    Beyond the confines of academia, I am also an active touring musician, engaging with diverse audiences across varied locales. This practical exposure has not only enriched my artistic sensibilities but has also imbued me with a profound understanding of the dynamic interplay between performer and audience.

    Furthermore, my dedication to music education spans over a decade, encompassing learners of all ages. This extensive experience has equipped me with a nuanced understanding of both theoretical and practical methodologies tailored to individual learning styles, fostering a nurturing environment conducive to musical growth.

    In tandem with my formal education, I have avidly explored the realms of Critical Listening and Music Production Analysis as part of my electives at Berklee. These disciplines have equipped me with the sense to dissect and appreciate music on a profound level, discerning nuances in arrangement, timbre, and production techniques. Such skills are integral in crafting music that resonates deeply with listeners.

    My musical inclinations are diverse, encompassing a solid appreciation for genres such as jazz, blues, classical, rock 'n' roll, neo-soul, RnB and pop. This eclectic palate not only informs my compositional style but also underscores my versatility as a performer and producer, allowing me to traverse a wide spectrum of musical expressions with finesse and authenticity.

    In choosing to embark on a musical journey with me, you're not only gaining access to a wealth of knowledge and experience, but also a mentor deeply committed to nurturing your unique musical voice. Together, we'll forge a path that celebrates the rich tapestry of genres, blending tradition with innovation, and ultimately crafting music that resonates on a profound level. And, of course, we'll primarily have fun along the way, because the joy of making music is at the heart of our shared endeavor. I look forward to embarking on this creative odyssey with you, where the transformative power of music awaits.
