Kevin J. has been writing, recording, and playing music for over 25 years. Music is meant to be fun and it is his goal to help others enjoy music. He has been a teacher for 11 years and has composed hundreds of songs. He is passionate about teaching his students the songs they want to learn, no matter the difficulty. He specialized in guitar, drums, and song writing. Kevin has a great way of encouraging others to keep going no matter what challenge is in front of them.

Through the foundation I've gained by the influences of Mel Bay, Hal Leonard, and Suzuki musical instruction methods, I compile my own teaching materials. Using personally constructed guitar lessons, I demonstrate, instruct, and guide the student based on my assessment of their individual needs, skill level, and progress. Lessons are formulated in Modules, and advancement through them is based on the student's personal aptitude, skill level, and practice commitment. Learning is accomplished by ear as well as through essential methods of musical notation (tablature, 5-line staff, rhythmic comprehension). Students are trained to perform written music as well as to write and express the music within themselves.
I'm an encouraging and motivating guitar teacher with a casual relaxed approach. Teaching new guitarists is very rewarding to me. To see the light come on and watch a student perform a song, express themselves musically, and create their own composition is an awesome experience.

I use lesson materials and pieces that I compose, as well as those from top publishers.

I like to address everything in one lesson in order to build knowledge and good habits: technique/form, chords/scales/arpeggios, music theory, sight-reading, ear-training, improvisation.

Hello my name is Lance, and I will be your instructor. My singular goal is simple: I want to give you the gift of music. If you are a beginner, I can help you build a foundational understanding of playing through a song. If you are an experienced player, I can help you sharpen your skills so you can go to the next level. What I love about teaching is that the more I do it, the more I learn as well. I look forward to meeting you and learning together.

This is simple, I want to get you results as fast as possible. I know the quickest ways to show you what you really need to know to get around the things holding you back now, like finger dexterity, or memorizing chords, and teach you methods without bad habits that give you power to go where you want music as your tool.
I listen to where you want to go, give you the best advice about how to get yourself there, and show you the secrets and how they work, the rest all comes from you.
We can take our time or move as fast as you are ready to progress through the things necessary for you to achieve your dreams.

I am a very patient artist, musician, acoustic guitar player and electric bass player. For guitar my lessons are a focus on chords and rhythm. Gypsy Jazz “le pompe” technique. Arpeggios and chord structure integration. Use of metronome to build and understand timing. How to read Chord charts and tablature. My lessons are great for a beginner to understand their instrument and how they can become an effective player in a band or ensemble. These lessons are great for all styles of music with a specialization in Gypsy Jazz.
