I've been playing acoustic guitar for 10+ years, but unlike many of the classically-trained musicians on Musika, I am mostly self-taught! After taking lessons for a while I found that standard instruction was limiting my creativity and restricting me from playing music that inspired me. Instead, I spent hours in my room pouring over guitar literature, youtube videos, and a lot of trial-and-error. As a result, I developed my own unique style and an ability to teach music in a more fun and efficient way - with a focus on the art of music rather than the science. I've had the pleasure of jamming countless times with Nashville famous singer/songwriter R.J. Bracchitta and I've learned a lot from him as well.

Every student is different, so I will always ask, "what are you goals for the guitar?" And then work form there. If you are just picking up the guitar and want to learn basic strumming chords or how to read chord charts - we'll start with proper finger placement and strum rhythm. If you're a little more advanced and want to learn how to play Fire & Rain by James Taylor - we can dive right in. Whether you are 10 or 80, beginner or advanced, I promise you two things with every lesson - you will learn (and retain!) something useful and we will have a lot of fun.
