Dundee, FL Guitar Lessons

Lessons are tailored around what the students want to learn and I can also help students prepare for auditions and give advice from first hand experience with the business aspects of the music industry.

In my first year of studying music, I completed the diploma in Contemporary Popular Music Performance with a distinction and was also awarded Most Improved Guitarist of The Year Award with a year's endorsement to Ernie Ball.

I've been playing guitar for 25 years, and teaching guitar for 10 years. I can teach a beginner from step one, or a jaded advanced guitarist looking for inspiration.

If you are brand-new to the guitar, I'd love to jump right in and teach you a fun song right away during your first lesson. I like making this as fun as possible while you're learning a lot about the guitar. If you already know how to play, I'd like to help you gain a better understanding of how the guitar applies to basic music theory. I want to help you truly gain your independence as a guitar player. In my opinion, there are only two things that really matter when learning how to play the guitar: 1) Having fun and 2) Learning a lot. That's what I hope that you can attain by learning from me.
