Hi Keith,
I teach occasionally in the SF Bay Area where I live when the schedule permits. For private lessons my general method is to find out what a student’s goals are and then see if I can help them come up with strategies to reach them. I have several pet ideas that I like, but I try not to push them on folks unless I feel they would be helpful. You can drop me a line at
michael@manthing.com if you’re going to be out this way and we’ll see if we can set something up.
