I have worked tirelessly playing as a session Guitarist for musicians in sessions at the Fish Factory, Advision, Hot Money studios, and have provided, creative, compositional additions to the music I've engaged with. I believe firmly that I am capable of applying this creativity to teaching through an Aural means. Learning by ear is a skill that is under appreciated and hardly taught, thought music sheets and tabs are things that I am more than capable of applying, the former, more tactile approach to learning can create a love and bond for the instrument that the latter can't.

Many guitarists often cite their favorite albums as the reason for them picking up the instrument; what they've heard, they often imitate by attempting to learn by ear. Some who do not yet know how to apply auditory recollection to the physical world of instrumentation often give up far too early, which is why eighty percent of guitarists quit within their first year.

My modus operandi is to prevent this; to make sure that less adolescents and young adults fall out of love with their instrument of choice, and I firmly believe that learning by ear their favorite songs, is imperative for this admiration and passion to burgeon.

This taste-based method of learning is the best way to teach a younger audience; it ensures that the guitar becomes beyond a hobby, a lifelong journey, and can even lead to a passion for other forms of music and instrumentation. Long gone are the days of chord sheets and quantitative, mathematical learning.
