Our instruction area is spot on. The store and studio provide an exceptional learning environment and contains amplifiers, acoustic, electric and bass guitars. We have the latest technology in keyboards, and the use of drum machines makes the lesson more fun utilizing the feel of being in a band. We are conveniently located just off Hampden Ave. and Tower Rd.

I teach students, technique, the parts of the guitar and how they works. hand placement. finger execises for both right and left hand. I teach the student theory, treble clef which is used for guitar. once they get the proper foundation, every week we do scales, scale exercises, right hand studies, chords, and as well as a song.

Touring guitarist, experienced composer for film/media, and professional music instructor for the past 8 years! I graduated Magna Cum Laude from McNally Smith College of Music with two bachelor's degrees; Guitar Performance and Instrumental Composition. I have taught students of literally all ages (4-76) and most specialize in guitar, music theory, and composition. I also teach beginner to intermediate piano lessons! My greatest strong suit as a teacher is my incredible flexibility in adapting to the student's learning style. Originally a self-taught guitarist, I know the struggles of learning or continuing to better oneself on an instrument. I guarantee you that I will work hard and patiently with you to help you reach your musical goals!

I LOVE giving music lessons! I tailor each lesson to fit the students interests, as well as give them a strong general music foundation to carry them through their musical endeavors! Music is FUN! Why should learning about it be any different?

Gregory offers guitar lessons that are available for both acoustic and electric guitar to children and adults of all skill levels.
Lessons are individualized according to each student’s interests.
Beginners can expect to be playing songs in the first couple of lessons! 
Intermediate and advanced lessons include: music theory (chords / scales), playing/improvisation through the use of arpeggios as a way to learn all the modes (scales) for use in rock and jazz (a great way to learn the entire instrument). Technique and sight reading are also taught. An emphasis is put on analyzing songs and guitar solos / melodies to understand what the key is and how the chords and scales were used to create each song or guitar solo.
Above all, students are encouraged to go in the direction that they choose and learn what inspires them the most. I can teach any song upon request!
Note: There is a guitar available (in studio) for student’s use during each lesson

I believe that music is a fundamental part of human expression created by God, and my heart’s desire is to use music to express a meaningful and edifying message in an effective, beautiful and creative way to God and to others. My intention with my students is to instill the same principles and desires in them through musical instruction and coaching, technical training, aural skills, exploration of quality musical literature, and performance opportunities.
