Private Guitar Lessons
My students are working musicians, performing artists, professional songwriters, hobbyists, weekend warriors, and just people who love music. I work with each one to develop a command of the skills they need and the ability to delve deeper into any musical style or interest.
For beginners
Good playing starts with good fundamentals. If you’ve never had a lesson, took lessons years ago, or have never even touched a guitar, everyone can play and it’s never too late to start. Learn the right way from the beginning with a sound, practical approach that has you playing real songs quickly while building real skills.
For more experienced players
No matter what style of music you play, you want to do it confidently. That confidence comes from knowing your instrument, speaking the musical language, and having the technical ability it demands. Most of all, it comes from learning how to practice so that you can identify your own challenges and find solutions.
For songwriters
Using the guitar as a songwriting tool means more than holding chords and strumming. Whatever your skill level is today, learn to expand beyond it with a greater command of rhythm, chords, riffs, and melody.
About my teaching style:
Specialty areas include:
- mechanics (playing comfortably and with fluidity)
