About
I offer private guitar lessons once a week. I conduct semiannual student performances in a professional setting with a full back-up band. I have been teaching all levels of guitar in the Denver area since 1982, both acoustic and electric. I am proficient in jazz, rock, blues and popular music styles. I provide in-home lessons in the Hilltop area and lessons at my studio near Denver University.
