***Before contacting me, please review the following information. Working with me is a deeper dive and takes real dedication and commitment. Music is a deep spiritual practice and life path, not just a hobby.

Option 1: Foundations Package

Package of 4 lessons:

60 minutes - $100

45 minutes - $80

30 minutes - $60

Single lessons cost $20 more. I can offer the lower rate for your first single lesson, if you would like to try one out first.

Option 2: Embodied Artist Mentorship

This is a deeper, more personalized experience over 8–12 weeks for musicians who want real transformation, not just lessons. This option includes a wide range of added benefits and personalized resources.

*****************************

What makes these lessons unique and special:

We not only discuss the guitar itself, but we work on dissolving unconscious "blocks" and resistance stopping you from the musical liberation you desire. Therefore, my 1-on-1 rates are higher than most other teachers. Through my own trials and years of experience, I have developed a unique intuitive approach to jazz improvisation, and a path to effortless playing and greater musical fulfillment. If you are interested in a sample I have a mini-course you could check out! Only $99 for the Keys to the Improvisational Kingdom of Heaven! :)

About Me: I have been performing as a professional jazz musician and teaching guitar for the past 16 years (and have been playing for the past 28 years). I'm a very dedicated teacher and have a clear and thorough way of teaching jazz improvisation (among many other styles) as well as accompaniment, theory, reading, and many other aspects of playing music. For me, improvised music is what I am most interested in and passionate about. In my lessons, instead of focusing only on scales, modes, arpeggios, etc., I also focus on training students to play what they hear - and to channel music that is true to them. I love using recordings and transcriptions (learning solos of jazz masters) to help students develop a sense of jazz language, so they can "speak" in an informed, intelligent, and musical way.

We can also discuss various possible challenges to expressing creativity, and how to work through them. As I continue to work on my own inner connection - being able to hear what I play and stay in the flow state - I love sharing what I continually learn with students.
