Randy has been teaching Studio Jazz Guitar at Sonoma State University since 1981. In addition, he teaches privately at his home in Santa Rosa, California.

The private lessons are for students who have already been studying guitar and are more advanced. His approach is to spend about two hours exploring ideas and techniques that will enhance the musicianship of the student and will include theory as well as specific exercises. Each lesson is adapted to the needs of the individual student. The lessons are scheduled as the student feels he is ready for more. It may be as often as every week, or it may be as seldom as once a month. In any event the student determines how he wants to progress. The cost per lesson (not per hour) is $70.

Techniques presented include:

• Music theory, with emphasis on jazz
• Music composition and improvisation
• Sight-reading music
• Playing by ear
• Practice techniques.
