I love working with musicians who want to grow and develop into the musician that they truly desire to be.

We will work through learning and playing songs, right-hand rhythm technique, left hand chord structures, playing with easy-feel, soloing and different scales, improvisation, and of course, music theory and the science behind how everything works up and down the guitar neck.

My lessons are fun and enjoyable. Learning the guitar at your pace in a comfortable, friendly environment. I want to teach you what I know and enjoy so you can learn to enjoy playing as well.

Guitar is my main instrument as a music major in college. I want students to learn at their on pace while motivating them to progress with each lesson. Students should be able to request certain genres and songs to learn. I am open to teaching any genre as well as the theory aspect necessary to truly understand the guitar.

Easy to learn needs-based lessons to help build a strong foundation and improve on current technique and theory! Looking for a specific genre? Or do you have no idea where to start yet? I can help you specialise or give you the tools to learn on your own!

Lessons will be catered to the needs/goal of the student. They can suggest songs they would like to learn and we will work on those. If the student would like to learn to sing and play at the same time, we can work on those songs as well.
