About

You get more than a guitar teacher; you get a music mentor who is deeply invested in every student’s success; both as a musicians and human being. I make myself available between lessons to provide students more time and resources to help ensure their success. Lessons also include a pre- and post-lesson email checking in on progress and to send lesson overviews.

I enjoy on getting to know each student and who they are as a person, their individual goals, abilities, and lifestyles. Then I tailor the best and most effective lesson experience for them. My greatest joy is to see a student's success and growth as a musician.

Ray knows his music and can teach to quite an advanced student but he also knows how to simplify things and play and teach very tasty, not too difficult licks.

Besides the fact that Ray is a wonderful instructor, the fact that was most important to me was that he was patient. His calm and patience made me feel comfortable to make mistakes and learn from them. It was a wonderful experience and I hope to get some more lessons soon!

Frequently asked questions

First I want to know what truly inspires the student to take guitar lessons. Every student is different so, it's really important to create a curriculum that's tailored to their goals, natural abilities/talent, and lifestyles. By showing the best path forward from the very start, together we can build greater self-confidence, motivation, and results to acheive success.
