Private Guitar tutoring lessons Prospect, KY.

Learn proper technique, how to read sheet music and guitar tabs, how to play scales and chords, music theory, and more!

We're gonna HAVE FUN! Your lessons will be customized to your needs and what you want to do with your ability to play guitar. I can teach you either electric or acoustic guitar. I can prepare you for any genre as I include fundamentals (for example, scales and arpeggios) in your practice. I use Mel Bay's Modern Guitar Method books for reference and/or lesson work. I can help you learn how to play with a pick, how to finger-pick, how to sing and play simultaneously, and even how to sightread.

Whether you're the next Taylor Swift, want to rock out like Metallica, or just want to play simple folk tunes around the campfire, I'm the teacher you want! I've performed on stage and have done studio work on top of teaching on both acoustic and electric guitar. We'll cover music theory, ear training, soloing, and explore different styles of music on top of learning the songs you want to play!

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!

I find out exactly what the student wants to learn to play on the guitar. Then, while we go through the song, I found out what obstacles the student needs to overcome. Every student is different and gets my personal lessons.

I have been playing guitar and bass for over 15 years. It has been a fantastic and rewarding musical journey that has given me many experiences performing, composing, recording, teaching, and producing music. I began primarily self-taught for the first seven years and then proceeded to attend and graduate from the Atlanta Institute of Music, where I achieved a performance-based scholarship. I think that my learning approach ultimately helps me teach students through both classical training and more colloquially-based methods so that I can easily relate to most students and adapt a teaching method that suits them best. My method also teaches students in general how to set their own goals and ultimately achieve the goals they set, which is a very practical life skill.

Music is my life's passion. As a full time songwriter, recording engineer, and working musician of over 10 years I have acquired a unique degree of knowledge and experience that I share with my students. Each lesson plan is specifically tailored to fit your individual needs and goals as a guitar player. Whether you're looking to learn your favorite song, expand your musical compositions through theory, or even take the first steps on your journey with guitar, my goal is get you to where you want to be. Feel free to message me at any time with any questions you might have. I'm looking forward to our first lesson together.

Hello!

Weather you decide to take lessons with me or not, I'm so excited that you're looking into learning an instrument. It has been something that has shaped my life for the better and I hope that it is able to do the same for you!

As an instructor my primary goal is to find out what you love in the instrument and foster and grow that into experience and knowledge of not only the instrument, but also the music that you'll be playing.

I'm an Alumni of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, I have over 5 years of teaching experience and I cant wait to get started in your training!
