Luke Air Force Base, AZ Acoustic Guitar Lessons

Hi, there! I've been teaching private lessons since 2010 and have loved helping my students learn how to read music, perform in groups at a higher level, and compose their own music. I have a teaching style that is engaging, fun, and effective. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

Hi there and thanks for visiting! I have been playing guitar, singing, writing and producing music for the greater part of my life. My endeavor is to guide you to an understanding of one or many of these facets and give you the tools you need to become your own teacher as you continue down this path.

Below is a brief synopsis about the lessons I teach:

Guitar/Songwriting:
There will be very little music theory. I never needed much of it to write my own music, other than a few basic theories to get around successfully, so it’s not something we’ll spend a whole lot of time on. I have organized and constructed a course book to keep things lively and moving along efficiently. I call it NOTEbOOK. It’s also great refresher material to revisit in the future.

If you desire to learn Acoustic guitar in a practical format that will allow you to learn and grow very quickly then I am the perfect teacher for this. You can learn Popular Songs, Worship Music, original Songwriting and much more.

I have always had an affinity for the acoustic guitar, and I enjoy helping students learn to fully utilize this amazing instrument. I specialize in teaching fingerstyle and using the acoustic guitar as an accompaniment instrument for singing.

I teach you a REAL rock, pop or country song that YOU want to learn. I tailor each lesson to each individual students songs THEY Want to learn. I don't waste time on outdated guitar lesson books or "Mary Had a LIttle Lamb" or drilling you on scales that you don't need to know YET. Let's play a song together

I have been playing guitar for nearly 10 years. I focus on good technique and studying the instrument beyond just campfire chords.

I have been playing and learning music since I was in the 3rd grade. I can read and write the language of music . I have used that knowledge to teach myself other instruments. Guitar is my Third instrument and I love to sing and play cover songs and create my own. I want to teach that skill to others. Join me for a fun and rewarding lesson so you can reach your musical goals.
