Take Private Flamenco Guitar Lessons

About Me

I have been playing guitar for 25 years. I took formal guitar lessons for seven years, won numerous awards locally and nationally, and grew up playing advanced rock guitar. I went on to study music theory elaborately, and was accepted to both the Berklee School of Music in Boston, and the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. I decided to start on a musical career immediately, and stayed in the Detroit area. I have written, performed, and recorded everything from indie rock, modern Latin guitar, and traditional Greek music. I have also studied flamenco guitar as a specific genre with a highly respected local teacher. I'm currently involved in my own singer/songwriter project "The Static Dial" of which I write all the songs (music, lyrics, and vocals), and am involved in local promotion for various bands.

I teach very young children (ages 6-8) to all ages of adults. Music samples are available here on my profile.

About Me

I love teaching and feel that I have a gift for it. I have taught over 250 students - all ages, levels, and styles - who would describe me as a patient, consistent and authentic teacher who gets great results, while maintaining a positive, low pressure teaching environment. My teaching style is "student centered." I believe it is important for students to learn and understand music at their own pace and on there own terms in order to achieve the best results. It is my job to take every opportunity to encourage students' interests while providing them with the tools, skills and knowledge that will transform those interests into unlimited musical abilities.

I am very good with children and served as the Director (and guitar teacher) for the Salvation Army Creative Arts Program for Youth in Billings, MT. During my time there I instructed over 200 young people ages 6 to 18. It was a wonderful experience. However, I wanted to boost my skills as a teacher and performer. I...

About Me

I teach all styles of guitar, as I have been in many different types of music situations: Soloist (Classical) Ensemble (Classical and Jazz) Lead and Rhythm (Various Rock and Roll bands) Songwriting and Recording. I am a people person that learned the guitar from many different sources. Most of my learning came from watching others and communicating with others. I like to learn about the people I am teaching so that I can better understand their needs as a musician. My education came as a practical necessity in order to get better as a teacher and performer, as well as make a living doing it. But, by no means do I preach the need to be "educated" to be a working, practical musician. This can scare people off. I do however enlighten you into why it may be important to understand certain aspects of music as opposed to just "picking and grinning", IE learning only "By Ear."

I am a classically trained guitarist that performs both as a soloist and for ensemble in a wide...
