_____________________________________________
Over the course of many years, I have taught various styles of guitar to many different types of people. Whether you're interested in learning to play a specific song, or if you've just always wanted to play guitar but weren't sure where to start, I will join you in your journey and help you discover the tools that you need to reach the level that you want.
I help my students figure out and understand how the instrument and their own hands work, so that they are able to get full control of the guitar and play in various styles with ease. I work to make sure as many doors as possible are open to my students, and I leave it up to them to decide which doors they want to walk through.

As a teenager, I regularly played country blues and folk guitar, sometimes performing publicly. I like to incorporate singing into my guitar lessons so I sometimes teach strum and chord patterns besides the single note playing style featured in the Hal Leonard method book. Although I rarely play guitar professionally because of my emphasis on piano, I still have a lot of knowledge to pass along to a student learning acoustic styles.
