About
My service is small but personal. I only try to take on a few students at a time to specialize and really get to know what you want and need.
I enjoy seeing the progression in my students. I loving seeing a student whose never played before being able to play songs. Or watching students come to me and transform into a better musician.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I attempted to gauge where they are at in thier own playing. I determine if they are an absolute beginner or have had some experience.
We go from there and immediately go into having fun with the instrument while also learning as much as possible.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been teaching for 4 years.
I've been playing guitar for 10 years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Half hour lesson - $25 (recommed for beginners)
Hour lesson - $30
How did you get started teaching?
I got started back when my cousin wanted to learn guitar around 4 years ago. I've had some students ever since and love doing it.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with kids as young as 9 to people in thier 60s. People who just wanted to learn how to play thier favorite songs to people whose strongest interest was to be the best guitar player they can be.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
My strongest advice would be to find a teacher who can do exactly what you want to be able to do. And also to find one who doesnt waste time and who can keep you on a schedule. But for example, if you want to know how to play the blues and know a guitar teacher who is really good but doesnt play the blues well that isnt the one for you. You want someone who truly loves what you want to do. Not someone who can just learn the concept faster then you and teach it to you.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
The number one question every student needs to ask themselves is what exactly do I want out of this? There are no wrong answers but its best to be true to yourself and to stay firm. Without knowing the answer to that question during your journey you might end up getting swayed in a complete different direction then you intended.
