Learn electric and/or acoustic guitar from a nearly 30 year veteran!

About Me

Hi! I'm Dan! I am practically a lifelong musician. I started on piano when I was 5, and then switched to guitar at 8 when we moved and the baby grand couldn't make the trip. I started guitar lessons in 3rd grade. Much of my skill was self-taught, but it never would have happened without the kind and patient teachers I began with.
I have now been playing guitar for nearly 30 years, and have taught several people to play guitar and play it well. While I am proud of this, I also enjoy ...

Lesson Details

My teaching approach is laid back, but I am strict when it comes to students practicing. If they want to learn, they have to practice assignments I give them. My curriculum includes the physicalities of the guitar, learning chord shapes, reading tablature, and playing melodies. After 2 to 3 months, a guitarist who is willing to practice and learn will be able to play multi-chord songs and melodies, as well as reading tablatures.
I have always believed that anybody who is open to learning an instrument can do so. But the student has to meet me halfway and be willing to work at it.

Daniel has been a Brookline private music instructor for TakeLessons since 2009. Daniel is a certified local music teacher.
