I will teach you to sing and play your favorite songs and write your own!

All styles - pop, rock, jazz, funk, classical, etc. Reading, writing and ear training.

I tried to teach guitar in the same manner in which I teach every instrument. First I teach students the rudiments of the instrument. Also I teach them how to read and a bit of music theory. From that point I like to follow the students lead. They bring in songs that they would like to learn, or possibly how to play lead guitar, or how to finger pick. At every point I try to point out general aspects of music that need to be learned from the material that they choose.

Pro Level ALL Styles from classical to shred to world music styles

I am versitile in a variety of styles of guitar from rock, metal and pop to classical. Additionally I have experience teaching Suzuki method.

I started playing acoustic guitar when I was seven years old. I have been playing and teaching mostly bluegrass, old time, Irish, blues, and swing jazz styles for many years. I have taught both privately and have also done various workshops at festivals. I have taught guitar multiple years for instance at the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival in PA.
My students learn to have fun with music. Students can work on rhythms, melodies, improvisation, song writing, getting into and/or hanging on in a jam session, etc.

I love to play the guitar whether it be electric guitar or acoustic, those who know me personally have seen firsthand that I'm passionate about music and where the guitar fits into it.

Why you should take my classes? My straightforward approach is appreciated by everyone who has taken lessons with me I'm careful not to confuse or intimidate my students with too much theory and musical jargon. My classes are perfect for: beginners, late beginners, intermediate and late intermediate.

I've been teaching music for 10+ years and it's been a great experience! My goal is to help make guitar a positive experience for you, build your confidence and help you be the best player you can be!

The student will be instructed on the basics of proper playing techniques, music theory, and musicianship. They will learn to read music and also play by ear which will make them a well rounded player.
