I am honest and can easily pick out any student’s artistic strengths— and trust me every student has them...come try out a lesson and see for yourself! I have a very clear and concise method of teaching focusing on the foundation of our ability to hear pitch and rhythm. Read More

I have been playing guitar since I was 7 years old and bass guitar since I was about 14. I also play drums and piano, to a lesser degree. My musical education includes college level music theory classes, many years of lessons with instructors (including an accomplished jazz guitarist), work in recording studios, plenty of self-directed instruction, and real-world playing experience. Teaching helps keep me on top of my game, and I enjoy sharing what I learn (I am always learning), as well as sharing my experiences as a performing musician. Read More

You can expect my lessons to be fun and casual. My goal is to keep you interested, motivated, and excited about learning the guitar. There will be no stiff, boring repetition drills or endless scales to perfect. My lessons are meant to teach you new material, offer insight, correct technique, answer questions, and encourage progress. Your job as a student is to take the information learned during each lesson and "practice, practice, practice" during the week. Read More
