Private Classical Guitar tutoring lessons Hebron, KY.

I have a BA in Classical Guitar Performance from The College of Mt. St. Joseph. I have studied under Robert Mercer, Richard Goering, and Joseph Fratiani.

Studied with Bruce Holzman and grad students at FSU. Played masterclasses for Antigoni Goni and Dimetri Diatchenko

All music lessons at WCGA combine solid instruction in music fundamentals with the student’s personal interests and goals. Guitar students will learn chords, scales, terminology, and technique along with note reading, chord progressions, and theory. Teacher duets are common in our lessons to develop listening and timing skills. Our guitar teachers make sure every student understands the fretboard in order to execute challenging melodies and riffs along with chords that are suitable for popular, rock, jazz and other styles of music. Teachers craft each lesson to incorporate the fundamentals of guitar playing with the personal interests of each student.

My goal as an instructor is to keep the lessons fresh, fun, interesting, and to ultimately guide the students to better teach themselves as they gain experience and familiarity with the instrument and music. Students can have their lessons catered to the music and styles they wish to pursue. Lessons are tailored to each individual student so that we can build upon their strengths and focus on lessons to improve weaker areas. Students will learn how to build dexterity, use proper technique, and be creative. Every student has different goals, some really want to learn theory and read music. Others may simply want to learn to strum a few chords. Whatever the goal, I can provide the instructions to help the student succeed!

My primary ensemble focus at Berklee revolved around the classical guitar. I emphasize the PIMA method and the understanding of diads and the open nature of chord structures.

Additionally, we'll make sure to develop your ear as a musician and your skills as a guitarist so that nothing can stop you from playing the music you enjoy! My specialties are Finger-style, Flamenco, Rock, Metal, and Classical guitar. If you'd like to just learn some techniques, styles, or even how to play a specific song, reach out and I'll see what I can do!
