Private Acoustic Guitar tutoring lessons Montclair, NJ.

My youngest student is 5! And I work with a teacher who specializes in intermediate and advanced whom I transition my more students over to once they reach a more advanced level. I teach basic plucking, chords and strum patterns of your favorite tunes!

I offer lessons in Guitar for all levels, having 5+ years of teaching experience and 12 in music education. I've taught children from 7 years old to adults 60+ from many different backgrounds, and my lessons are always structured the same way: To serve your needs, your goals and allow you to enjoy the process of learning.

Once you get more advanced, technical aspects like music theory and how to use it creatively take a more important role in the lessons. For advanced players, I will find your strengths and weaknesses, and we will work on maintaining those strengths while slowly improving on the weaknesses, which may be technical, theoretical or even psychological. If you are more ...

I teach all chords and strumming patterns that will allow you to play all songs on the acoustic guitar. From Bob Marley to Taylor Swift and everything inbetween. If you are a singer wanting to play an instrument. I'm the teacher for you.
