About
Hi! Thanks for checking my profile.
I believe that guitar lessons are a learning experience for both the student and the teacher. Learning with me will be insightful, it will challenge you, but most of all, it will be fun. I want you to look back on these lessons not as a class or a course of study. You should remember them as a fun experience, a creative space, and a time to be yourself.
Being a performer and guitar player for 25+ years (basically all of my life), I've realized that music is my passion, and I want to share that experience with other people. I look forward to starting you on your musical journey!
My past and current students would confirm that I present the guitar in an understandable and practical way, relevant to each person's experience. Music should not be some mysterious enigma that only a select few can understand. Music is something that anyone can do! Music is meant to be enjoyed!
The first lesson is always free, so we can get to know each other first and you can be sure you are making the right choice!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
In our first lesson/meeting, we can spend some time simply getting to know each other and talking about your goals for learning guitar. Who inspired you? What styles of music do you like best? Do you want to play a show, or just perform for your friends and family? Then we can go over some of the basics and then customize your lessons to best fit your needs.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Lessons are $50 per hour, $25 for a half hour
How did you get started teaching?
I've been playing, writing, and recording for many years. Early on in 2020, a good friend of mine asked me to teach him online while we were all at home, and it was like something clicked! This is something I was meant to do.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with students of all ages and of various experience levels. I work well with beginners or those who have a few lessons or have watched a few basic videos already.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find someone who you enjoy and who you can make a personal connection with. I still remember my two childhood guitar teachers to this day, and that makes their lessons continue to be impactful.
