I teach all styles of guitar. I've been teaching guitar for over fifty years. I studied classical guitar from the great Brazilian guitarist Seko Sesoko. I've played classical guitar in Theater and for private weddings and formal dinners. I've played rock and pop guitar with small combos, variety bands, and wedding bands. I've Played jazz guitar in combos and big bands. I have a strong background in applied guitar theory for chord and scale studies. I teach all styles including the blues. You will love my lessons. We have a lot of fun learning together. My studio is very professional and private.

I've been playing guitar for 24 years, I'm originally from NYC but live and teach in Honolulu, Hawaii. I live in Waikiki. I Teach many styles from reggae to boss's nova to fingerpicking styles. I focus on what particular song you are trying to learn or style your trying to improve on and can start from there. Basics of guitar, such as chords, scales, and cool progressions. I've played for Reggae band Forward and Big Island Music School in recent years but now teach. I'm easy to talk to so if you have any question please ask!

There are many ways to cultivate your musical skill whether it's visual, kinesthetic, or auditory. Let's find out which way works best for you!

Most schools do not offer the flexibility in learning styles necessary for you to find your ideal way of processing new information, whether it be visual, auditorial, kinesthetic, memetic, right brain/left brain, etc.

That's why I'm here! I pride myself on working with each individual student on the subtle ways that they learn and form healthy habits. If you have any questions about my teaching styles or methods please ask!

A little more about me:

I have over 10 years of guitar experience, studying under Jazz heavyweights Corey Christiansen, Oteil Burbridge, and Dan Miller. I pride myself in putting my students needs and wants above all else. I wish to impart a love for music onto my students that can only be cultivated by the bond a teacher and their student share, let us learn and grow together!

I've been teaching beginning rock, folk, and pop guitar since 2008. I focus on building strong fundamentals and basic knowledge of music structure and theory so that my students may become competent, independent musicians capable of creating fulfilling musical experiences for themselves and in ensemble settings.

Ranging from learning the basics of guitar, to integrating style, and to mastering how to play songs with ease.

We will be working on your progress together. The classes will be customized based on your desires and your needs. We will be working on the topics that you want to work and improve the most, but at the same time I will be focus on getting you to improve in other topics that I know will take you to the next level.

I will be focusing on areas where we need to work the most, while at the same time we work on the topics that you want to improve the most

Taking guitar lessons with me is a guaranteed fun, interactive and thoughtful experience. As a licensed K-12 instructor and a professional working musician, my lessons will be as varied in both content and style as one can imagine. Want to learn songs? You got it! What style would you like to play? We can pick any one. Want to just shred one's troubles away? Well I can show you how to do that too. We can work on pedagogy (raw technique), repertoire (your personal song library), theory (how music mathematically works), and so much more. Music is supposed to be fun, and I want to give you the tools to have as much fun with music ON YOUR OWN TERMS as you possibly can!

Teaching Style
My teaching style starts with learning the Basic Chords, placing them in their chord family, Learning all about Frets and their differences in sound, rhythm, and Basic Information about the guitar.

Normally it will take 12 months at 1 lesson a week to be a Great Guitar Player through my program. This required the student to do lots of practice. Some students progress differently and it may take a little ...
