Private Guitar tutoring lessons Princeton, NJ.

I am an experienced guitar teacher with over 20 years of experience. I teach students of all levels and ages. I structure your lesson around what you want to learn while also building a solid foundation in music theory. I usually use Mel Bay guitar instruction books.

Lessons are specifically tailored to each student based on ability level, learning style, and goals. Younger children will focus more on technique and fun, but in every lesson it is my goal for my students to grow their own musical sensibilities. Above all, I love sharing with my students the joy that playing the guitar can add to their lives.

Fun and personalized lessons for aspiring Guitarists of all ages. Whether you are a complete beginner or advanced, my years of experience can show you a practical approach to learning music and exploring the guitar.

The guitar is my primary instrument, and I've been playing for close to 20 years now. I've studied with some incredible teachers (Tomo Fujita, Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, Dave Fiuzcynski, Don Glanden, Kevin Hanson) who have taught some incredible students (like John Mayer, Eric Krasno, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and B.B. King), and I aim to pass down that same valuable information to my students. I teach all areas of guitar and I specialize in jazz and blues. As a student, I experienced several different music education curriculums, and I'm highly focused on adapting my teaching style to best suit each individual student. Unlike a lot of private teachers and music stores, I teach the essentials of whatever route students want to take, whether it be intense studying and preparation for music school auditions or just learning the basics and being able to play your favorite songs. If you have any questions about anything at all, feel free to get in touch with me.

I am an experienced professional guitarist and teacher, and I am right now accepting students in my home studio. I play and teach many styles of music from classical to folk, rock, and pop. I have toured many times as a theater and back-up musician throughout all fifty US states, Canada, Europe, and Asia.
Every student has a unique set of skills, interests, and abilities which I make it my business to help uncover and develop!

I have graduated college with my Bachelor's in music performance. During my time in college, i focused mainly on classical guitar, but i play acoustic, and electric. I teach according to what each student enjoys. I bring in outside things to help make the experience fun and enjoyable. My goal is to make guitar fun and to share the enjoyment of music with the student.

I studied guitar performance at the Berklee College of Music perform currently in a variety of bands and styles. While I'm happy to work with you on whatever you like most, my specialty lies in fingerpicking, blues, ragtime and folk music.
