Guitar Lessons in Woburn, MA

Instruments: Guitar

Having fun is a necessary condition for learning, so I try to cultivate a fun, laid-back, no-pressure atmosphere in my lessons. Every student has their own particular set of strengths and weaknesses, goals and time contraints. I take the time to understand what each student is looking to get out of their lessons and custom-tailor a unique lesson plan for each student accordingly. I am a very patient teacher, so students will always have as much time as needed and as many repeats as needed to master a particular passage or concept. Read More

I've helped someone finally nail the songs they spent 50 years trying to play well. Read More

I have been playing music for over 30 years, starting with the drums at age 12, and then guitar at age 14.

For beginners of any age, foundations of music theory are essential. I am familiar with multiple curricular options.
