There are several teaching methods for music, such as the “CAGED” method vs “3 NOTE” method, “SUZIKI“ method etc. I have my own method of teaching which is adaptable to each student.

In general, there are several ways to understand music, and it is very much like a map of the world. There is the mercator map, the goode homolosine map, octant projection map, etc. Every map style has its own distortions and none of them can accurately portray the 3D world on a 2D surface. The same goes for music. There is no one single way to understand it, and the more maps you are able to read, the better idea you have of it as a whole. It can seem as complicated as you want to make it, using as big of words as you want to use, but in the end, its all just music, and it should be fun. It’s called “playing“ music for a reason.

I wrote my own book on music theory, breaking it down to the bare bones and making it simple to understand. this book is given to you for free on the first lesson. or you can find it here:

I am largely a guitarist looking to teach guitar, but here are some videos of Drew (10 year old) who i taught drums to for 4 months in Vail Colorado back in 2016.
