Fruitland Park, FL Acoustic Guitar Lessons

Learn the basics of guitar at your own pace while learning some of your favorite songs.

Over 20 years teaching guitar privately, and 25 years experience performing professionally on guitar. Lessons are tailored to the students' interests and goals.

All levels and styles

Open and individualized lessons will teach each student in a unique fashion to fit them best. Chords, theory and musical reading will be the main focus of these lessons. My individualized approach works well for many students so that they learn what they want, how they want, and see the results that they specifically are looking for

Students can expect to learn anything from basic chords to advanced theory and improvisational techniques on their instrument.

As an original artist, acoustic guitar has been one of the most important iterations of the instrument in my life. I feel that my mastery over acoustic guitar is on par with my mastery on electric guitar and acoustic guitar is my preferred instrument to teach. As a professional gigging blues/rock/indy musician I have toured while playing all forms of acoustic genres and venues, from jazz to country.

I offer a method that gets you learning your favorite songs fast and at the same time learning what makes up those particular tunes so you can then take that knowledge and expand on it.

As an experienced music educator and Board Certified Music Therapist, I use a creative and student-centered approach to help each student achieve success. Each lesson is carefully crafted and individualized to the student's strengths and learning style. I especially enjoy working with beginners of all ages.

Ph.D., B.M. 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.

A lesson with me begins with finding out exactly what you want to get out of playing the guitar. I am here to facilitate your every need, desire, and dream on your journey towards musicianship.

I take a comprehensive approach based on my student's needs - utilizing many of the most highly regarded and well known pedagogical tools available.

If your goal is to get your money's worth, there is no better teacher than I.
