My lessons are tailored to the individual student.

I focus on "practical application", meaning I don't clutter your notebook with sheet music and boring terms to memorize. I will teach you how to play the guitar like your heroes using simple building blocks that will keep lessons fun and interesting and show results from day one. Read More

I also make myself very available for answering any questions any student might have, as well as working outside of the lesson to try and find the best way I can help each student. Read More

I focus on making sure student is comfortable and not lost at any point . Realistic expectations are important and we will assess these case by case.
