About
My expertise lies in teaching contemporary guitar techniques that prepare my students to play alongside other musicians across all genres. Whether you're a relative newcomer or a seasoned professional, my instruction will help you reach your desired outcome. From crafting original compositions to confidently improvising through a 12 bar blues, navigating jazz changes or demonstrating modern metal techniques, my concise and unique approach simplifies the complexities of theory, making it attainable to all.I conduct my in-person lessons Monday through Friday from my stunning home studio nestled in the picturesque Discovery Heights section of Anchorage, Alaska. As an added layer of safety, I have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and strictly adhere to all CDC guidelines. My abilities and success extend beyond Anchorage, with many glowing reviews about my teaching in the Falls Church, Herndon, and Washington DC areas.
My passion is teaching and I'm beyond grateful that I'm able to make a career out of it. What sets private lessons apart from class-based sessions is the one-on-one attention you get from me. I assess my students' abilities and adjust the pace of instruction to ensure they're comfortable and progressing at optimal levels. We set personalized, achievable goals and work towards achieving them together.
While I specialize in teaching adults, I work extremely well with children and would be happy to consider children as young as 4 on a case-by-case basis after extensive dialogue with their parent or guardian. For parents of younger students, your presence and involvement will be essential in the beginning stages to ensure practice is being completed correctly. Don't worry, it's easy to learn and I'll guide you through it all.

Within only two sessions with Kevin, I have acquired more knowledge and enjoyment than from the entirety of my adolescent four-year guitar tutorial. Kevin's passion as both a mentor and musician is infectious, and I am genuinely eager to acquire knowledge from him.

My daughter is having a great time in her lessons. The parking facility is easily accessible and the staff is welcoming. The presence of WIFI in the parent waiting zone is especially pleasing to me.

Kevin possesses excellent teaching skills for guitar lessons; he displays ample patience and exceptional knowledge. I feel confident that I can initiate playing guitar soon after attending his classes. Undoubtedly, he is a fantastic teacher to collaborate with.

Amazing Teacher!! Kevin has given my child two guitar lessons and my child really enjoyed them! He is excited for the next lesson. Despite my daughter's nervousness, Kevin was able to make her feel comfortable and she even learned a song on her first lesson! Kevin also took the time to explain how I, as a parent, can assist my daughter with her practice schedule at home. His instruction was so clear and concise that I was able to help my daughter right after her first lesson. By her second lesson, she hardly needed any assistance at all. I strongly recommend Kevin Henrickson as a guitar teacher.

After experiencing a tedious time during my sessions with a nearby instructor, I lost my interest in playing and decided to search for a fresh one. Even though I've only had a single class with Kevin, I felt livelier than I have for the past eighteen months. From the initial lesson, I received a few tips to improve my technique and also acquired a delightful tune to rehearse. I'm elated to no longer be constrained to Zoom sessions and instead collaborate with a vaccinated instructor in-person. I'm eagerly anticipating our next session!
