Private Guitar tutoring lessons Waipahu, HI.

I have been playing guitar since I was 14, and have been performing and teaching for over 20 years.
I studied jazz guitar, composition, and theory at the Mannes Conservatory in NYC, NY., and also with several private teachers.
I teach many styles, including rock, pop, blues, folk, and jazz.
(I do NOT play classical or flamenco.)
I tailor my lessons to meet the interests and learning styles of my students. I teach playing by ear, music reading, tablature, and theory. I enjoy teaching students of all ages - children, teens, and adults.
I make lessons fun for young children, by including some musical games and activities. With teens and adults, I have the students choose the songs and styles they wish to work on, and go from there.

I get a grasp of what excites the student about music and guitar and then curtail the curriculum to their specific desires. Then I give them the music tools to play the songs and music of their desire all the while expanding their horizons.

I have been playing guitar for about 25 years and teaching for about seven years now. I played in a punk/rock band in high school and have since studied classical and jazz guitar. Currently I write and perform songs in a folk/acoustic style.

I studied classical guitar at the University of Central Florida, performing solo and ensemble repertoire. I can teach proper technique with both hands, music notation, tablature, sight reading, harmonic theory, and how to realize "orchestral" compositions.

I can teach shredding lead guitar riffs or strumming rhythm (typically acoustic) guitar. Whatever genre or style you're into, and whatever skill level you find yourself - I can help you play the songs you love.

Electric, acoustic and all manners of the varieties of the instrument

For those of you interested in learning specific songs, new techniques/genres, or have hit a musical plateau and aren't sure what to work on next, taking a lesson or two a week can change your life. Playing music is an indispensable skill in our daily lives and can help center ourselves in times of stress. I teach a variety of ages and skill levels and am happy to teach you whatever you think you need on the guitar. Music theory, composition, ear-training, songwriting are all skills we can work on.

20 years experience in private teaching, 15 years as Head of Juilliard Pre-Colkege Guitar Program. I use my own method and love teaching all level and ages of enthusiastic students. I specialize in Classical, Tango , Spanish and Sounth/Latin American Music.

I place a heavy emphasis on not only playing music but understanding it. Understanding what you're playing is one of the most important differences between an amateur and a professional musician.

Music is all about relationships and patterns. I teach my students to recognize and identify these relationships and patterns to set them up on the course for musical mastery.

I am a multi-instrumentalist with a family background in blues. I am talented at every genre from pop, classical, and even some country. I am very straight to the point and have a variety of teaching methods so I can adapt to any type of learner. I also am a very understanding and patient person and I think encouragement, regardless of circumstances, will always be better than criticism. All in all, I make learning how to play FUN, like it's supposed to be.

I am a classical and flamenco guitarist with decades of experience and have studied with the best. I was Vice President of New York City classical guitar society and always interacted with students and masters .

I have over ten years of experience writing, singing and playing guitar on hundreds of demos and professional recordings. I have written and worked with multiple major label artists and Grammy nominated songwriters over the past ten years. I have a top ten Billboard Canadian Country song with the band Washboard Union and have had a song, recorded by chart topping country artist Brett Young. My songs have been syndicated on national television on channels such as MTV and on national commercials such as "Red Lobster". In addition to my writing credits, I have also sung background vocals for many artists on major labels such as Universal and Warner Brothers including Jon Pardi, and Aubrie Sellers. I also have extensive experience playing acoustic and electric guitar for artists both in live shows and in the studio. Utilizing this experience, I can provide commercial guitar and vocal lessons.
