Hi!

I'm Grant!

And it would be my pleasure to be your music instructor.

I structure my lesson plans specifically around what you want to learn and how you want to learn it. We will go as slow or fast through the material as you'd like, focusing on playing songs and the techniques needed to improve, practice better, and have more fun on the instrument. 

I teach all of the fretted string instruments:
Guitar | Banjo | Mandolin | Bass | Ukulele
As well as Piano and Music Theory.

If you have any questions for me, hit the "Ask Grant A Question" button above. 

Cheers!

I like to make learning an instrument fun and easy to fit into your schedule!

If you're an adult finally getting around to learning your dream instrument or a child following your passion I tailor your lessons specifically to you. We look at what you want to play, pick specific songs that you want to learn, and learn the techniques you need to play these songs. It sounds simple, but it's  the most effective and fun way to learn!

very awesome to work with very patient, tons of knowledge.. 

Grant is fantastic. He has so much patience and a great attitude, as well. He makes learning the ukulele fun, even for students who are musically challenged.

I started taking lessons with Grant a little over two months ago, and I can’t recommend him enough. When I am struggling with a technique, he’ll break down the issue in multiple ways until we find an explanation and exercise that “clicks” for me. Even as I struggle, Grant maintains a completely chill attitude. On top of having a fantastic teaching style and patience, he is punctual. I am not a betting lady, but if I was, I would put good money on Grant being the best guitar teacher that you’ll find. 

Grant is an excellent guitarist and capable of breaking down concepts in multiple ways to communicate/translate them for the student experience. 

Grant seems like a great teacher. My son has only had one lesson but is really positive about the next one.

My son is soooo excited about the guitar! Great teacher, very patient and very motivating!

I enjoyed the lesson and learn several new things!

Grant is a fantastic teacher! Just had my first lesson. I started learning ukulele on my own a few months ago and was having trouble with certain things. Also didn't want to get into bad habits. He was very focused on what I wanted to learn, taught me some key things and gave me homework to help with chord changes and rhythm. Looking forward to our next lesson!

Our 8-year-old son enjoyed his first lesson with Grant and is looking forward to the next one!

Very good class. Grant is a good instructor. I was very pleased.

Grant is not only great at what he does, but he's very accommodating. Excited to learn more!

Grant was great to work with, felt comfortable with him, and it wasn’t 30 minutes of me listening to him play, like other instructors I’ve had.

Grant is an excellent teacher. He understood my learning goals and provided really great instructions at the level that I need. I am really looking forward to continuing my lessons with him.

Grant is a great instructor! Very patient and informative. I am learning the banjo at a good pace and am happy with my purchase.
