I teach the fundamentals of guitar, including theory, technique, rhythm, inversions!  I teach your favorite songs, help you with chord formation, and make it fun!  As someone who plays and sings at the same time, I can help singers who want to add this instrument to their skillset and accompany themselves! I specialize in making the song my own and finding easy ways to let your voice shine while playing.  I am also strong at teaching the fundamentals of guitar, chords, learn your favorite song, finger placement, picking to plucking, looping, basic improv and soloing! i'll help you memorize where the chords and notes are on the fret board as well and a bit about music theory and ear training! Thanks for checking me out!

Getting a coach can be tough.  You want someone supportive, but who will also be honest with you.  Dree walks that line very well, being super supportive but also very good at helping you identify what you do well, and what you would benefit from working on.  If you're here, you're thinking about it.  I would encourage anyone to give her a chance to see how she can help you improve and enjoy your playing even more.

Dree is a phenomenal coach. She brings style, knowledge and warmth to all her interactions, and has such a wealth of knowledge about music. Highly recommended at all levels of experience - you'll develop new skills and self-confidence from your lessons.

Could you ask for a more caring and attentive teacher? Dree is skilled in helping learn the basics and beyond. In addition she has advice few can give because she is an actual working musician who has seen it all.

Guitar Warmup! The 1234 Up the Neck! 

As we continue on our C chord family journey, one chord that has truly helped me spice up my playing is learning the Cadd9 Chord.  This is an extended version of the basic C Chord and sounds gorgeous.  There are several variations and in this video, I show you two of them, along with a few tips and tricks for positioning and moving between chords.  You can substitute in the Cadd9 for some songs that have a C chord, and it sound impressive and is a great tool for your chord tool belt.  

Thank you for watching!
