Specialties

Lesson Details

First, I want to learn from you, what inspires you to play guitar? Together we will assess your current skills and style to create realistic goals that will encourage growth. I am patient and will ensure that the student feels comfortable in an environment where mistakes can happen and so can magic. We will approach theory as it relates to the songs we choose to work on. After three months you will have added new material to your repertoire, developed new techniques and skills, and will gain ... confidence as you prepare for a performance.

About

It all started with The Beatles, and a high school band which led the way to going to Berklee College of Music and receiving my Bachelor's Degree in Music there in 2006. Since then I have taught Rock guitar and music theory to children and adults while I was the Music Director at a community center in Boston. I'm currently serving as a MusicianCorps Fellow with the Music National Service. This keeps me very active as I spend 4 days a week teaching music to Middle and High School age students. ...

Rock is my main thing but also perform Soul, R&B and Bossa Nova. After many years of learning and performing songs, I have realized that learning a song is not enough. You have to give it enough practice and passion so that you can make it your own.
