About
Teaching is my passion, and my students often praise my patience and understanding. I believe in challenging my students while making sure they are fully engaged in tasks that are appropriate for their skill levels.

My love for music has been a lifelong pursuit. I received my music education from the Berklee School of Music and I have been teaching professionally for seven years. I take great pleasure in simplifying complex musical concepts for my students to grasp.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced player, I am committed to providing comprehensive lessons. While I am knowledgeable in music theory, I also take pleasure in introducing young musicians to the major scale.

I am well-versed in a variety of musical styles, including Rock, Jazz, Bluegrass, Funk, Improvisation, Country, and Indie. Additionally, I enjoy incorporating elements of songwriting into my lessons. If you're looking to break out of the pentatonic box shapes, I've got you covered.

Stephen is an enjoyable and attentive instructor! He has aided me in developing my ability to recognize chords and progressions through my ears, consider phrasing and accompaniment, and instructed me in numerous tunes; too many to recall. I highly recommend him to learners of all ages and skill levels.

Music holds a significant place in Stephen's heart. As a teacher, he believes in exposing his students to an array of musical styles without enforcing any particular genre or sound. Rather, he aids them in discovering sounds that they love! With a combination of an open-minded approach and a strong foundation in the basics, Stephen has been a wonderful guide for both myself and other students.
