Description:

Are you searching for a guitar instructor? Maybe you want to take your skills to the next level, or perhaps you're struggling with finger placement and need guidance on navigating the guitar. It could be that you simply want to strum your favorite tunes while gathered around a campfire. Whatever your reasons, I bring over a decade of experience teaching guitar to students of all ages. I specialize in crafting tailored lesson plans and roadmaps that help each student achieve their personal goals, from developing solid foundations to honing intricate techniques.

As a professional musician with extensive band and touring experience, I'm well-equipped to help you not only build good practice habits but also understand how to succeed in group performance settings. I've worked with students from diverse backgrounds and even tutored courses in all subjects at the renowned Berklee College of Music, where I earned my own degree.

Let me be your guide as you embark on your own guitar journey, whether your interests lie in ear training, theory, songwriting, improvisation, or any style that piques your curiosity. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and take advantage of a complimentary consultative lesson. Thank you for considering my services!
