Those who can, teach.

I teach guitar and coach singers, songwriters and performers at Maple Street Guitars in Atlanta and at home in Kirkwood. I began teaching guitar in 1978 at Ken Stanton Music in Marietta, Georgia, my hometown. I have a degree in Classical Guitar Performance from Georgia State University where I studied with John Sutherland, a student of Andres Segovia.

I organize an annual Master Class for my students, and guests have included Amy Ray, Emily Saliers, Sonia Leigh, Girlyman, John McCutcheon,  Sam McPherson and Michelle Melone.

The last Sunday of every month, I hold an informal “Guitar Pull” for my students, where we workshop songwriters’ songs, jam, and perform whatever we’ve been working on at our lessons for each other. It’s usually composed of 5-8 students. It’s a great way to learn how to perform in front of people. Everyone is very supportive and encouraging of each other. It’s a fun way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday!
