Hi there! For the past decade, I've taught guitar and performed professionally, with the most recent five years spent in New York City. In 2017, I earned my Bachelor's in Music from the esteemed Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. Teaching is my true passion, and my greatest strength lies in simplifying complex topics for beginners. I'm experienced in a variety of genres spanning jazz, classical, improvisation, rock, and blues, as well as composition (I'm the proud recipient of a Downbeat Award) and music theory. My ultimate aim is to inspire a love of music within everyone I teach by creating tailored, goal-focused lessons. The cherry on top? My competitive rates! I'm conveniently located in Sunset Park (36th St), accessible from the D, N, and R trains, but I'm also happy to travel to my students if that's more convenient for them.

Teaching me music, Connor exhibited great patience. Prior to this, I had no idea how to play any instrument. However, he worked at my pace and never lost his cool. Thanks to him, I have made significant progress. Also, I value his accommodating schedule.

Working with Connor is an absolute blast. He possesses exceptional musical abilities and is ever ready to offer his assistance with any piece or style of my choice. His patience is admirable, even with someone like me who is completely new to this, while his expertise is such that he can teach anyone - amateurs and pros alike. I am eagerly looking forward to our next session!
