I have been playing the guitar for over 25 years and teaching guitar for over 20 years. I tailor lessons to each student in a fun, relaxing atmosphere. My program for beginners focuses on chords, strumming, fundamental exercises, and a little bit of music theory to know how songs work. I strive to keep the lessons enjoyable and interesting while aiming for a high standard of education.

Whether you’re looking to play for fun at home, around the campfire, or want to learn practical music theory for composition and/or improvisation, I have instruction programs for all levels and styles from beginner to advanced and from ages 7 years on up.

I myself have taken hundreds and hundreds of private guitar and vocal lessons over the years and I know both sides of the story. I always want students to look forward to their lesson, even if they haven't practiced. There is always something we can work on.

Check out all the reviews from students and parents to get another perspective on how I teach.

Pricing for weekly 1/2 hour lessons start @ $30 and go down from there. Weekly hour-long lessons start @ $55 and go down from there.
