Music Lessons

My Approach:

Unlike many guitar instructors, I do not approach teaching guitar as a purely academic exercise. I like to ensure that my students gain a solid musical foundation while learning how to create music, play songs and enjoy themselves. 

I focus my instruction on the musical styles my students are interested in and create a curriculum customized to each student’s individual needs and preferences rather than follow one rigid course structure.

My teaching skills have been recognized and appreciated by numerous students. Many have written endorsements of how much they learned and how fun the lessons are.

If you haven’t played in a while and want to get back into it, I can really help you regain your skills and progress in the style you prefer.

I am dedicated to helping my students succeed and enjoy their learning experience. I believe that patience and focusing on individual needs have contributed to the success of my students.
