Guilford, CT Bluegrass Guitar Lessons

All styles from classical to jazz/blues to many ethnic/world music styles

I've played guitar since I was only eight years old (over 20 years!) in many different bands, styles, and genres. I played in a traditional Irish ensemble when I was in college and have since picked up banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and bodhran (an Irish hand drum). I love playing and teaching bluegrass music, it's a special challenge both for me and the students!

When taking guitar lessons every student is different. Every student has different goals, wants, and learning abilities. I will teach students what they want to learn and we will have fun. Students will also learn a proven guitar curriculum that will make them great guitar players. I want my students to have fun and enjoy lessons. I also, know what it takes to make a student into a great guitar player.

I have been teaching music lessons to students of all ages for over 15 years, including private lessons and undergraduate courses. I thoroughly explore all aspects of each exercise or song that I present to my students, highlighting the most important elements and takeaway points. Through a combination of playing songs, music theory, ear training, and personally tailored exercises to fit your needs, we will help you cultivate your instrumental "voice" and playing style.

Hey there!
My passions are technique and accuracy; by perfecting technique comes a deeper understanding of theory. I have lots of teaching methods that will encourage you to play your favorite songs and styles with the sounds you like.
I'll focus on the very basics of guitar theory in order to get to a higher level of understanding music theory.
I will challenge you! We will have lots of fun and you will see, hear, and feel your own improvements with my teachings.

As the father of 3 young kids, I love working with beginners and teaching them to learn new things. I taught myself guitar in 7th grade and have been playing regularly since then. I'm happy to teach basic cords, how to read notes, or how to play your favorite song on the radio. Every student is different, guitar should be fun, and I like to tailor my lessons to the student I'm teaching.

Teaching the guitar since 2010, graduated with a certificate of professional competences, originally from France, and having a solid background as live performer with different bands and as a self-producer/songwriter, I'm here to help you reach your targets: It can be learning some specific technical skills on the guitar, learning a song, improving your theory knowledge, or help you in your songwriting process (working on Logic Pro X).
