Secaucus, NJ Guitar Lessons

Guitar lessons of any type!

I started playing acoustic guitar when I was seven years old. I have been playing and teaching mostly bluegrass, old time, Irish, blues, and swing jazz styles for many years. I have taught both privately and have also done various workshops at festivals. I have taught guitar multiple years for instance at the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival in PA.
My students learn to have fun with music. Students can work on rhythms, melodies, improvisation, song writing, getting into and/or hanging on in a jam session, etc.

I possess more than 10 years of progressive experience in music education. My professional history includes positions such as president/instructor at Rockville Centre Music as well as classical guitar instructor at Long Island Conservatory.
Most recently, my responsibilities as owner at Rockville Centre Music match the qualifications you are seeking. As the Owner, my responsibilities included preparing schedules, creating lesson plans, and working with special needs children.

Teaches many styles including blues, jazz improve, pop, rock and more. Goes over concepts in a simple and organized way.

I teach Rock, Blues, Jazz and Classical Guitar Styles. My teaching goal is to make you a better player. During lessons you can expect each subject to be explained so that you understand its musical relevance to your playing. I am a very patient teacher who has had great success with students of all levels.

During our lessons, you will learn the fundamentals of guitar playing (open chords, basic chord progressions, reading music, the notes on the fretboard, etc.), as well as some of your favorite songs.
Intermediate students will begin to learn music theory and more complex song structures, as well as rhythmic picking and finger-picking.
Advanced students will learn the ins and outs of music composition.

My style is a song-based method of teaching: through songs that the student admires, I teach them the chords, melody and rhythm; from there we dig deeper into it and learn the key, scales and riffs; deeper still, we learn the theory, arrangement and possible ways to improvise over the chord changes. I believe that any song can be a launching pad into other musical subjects. For example, a Beatles song could lead back to the blues; or a Dylan song leads back to Appalachian music.

Brooklyn-based private music teacher operating in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Over a decade of experience teaching a broad range of styles to students of all ages and backgrounds. Strong focus on the individual student's personal interests and goals. Master's degree in music with years of experience touring globally and recording for both major and indie labels.
Whether you're looking to begin your or your child's guitar learning experience, or take your playing to the next level, it's my passion to get students playing the music they want to play, right from the beginning!

I am an accomplished guitar player in a variety of genres and have extensive experience with different bands. I studied guitar at Southern Oregon University, and then went on to teach guitar and piano at the Able Music School in Auckland, New Zealand, and with the Musicality Network in Portland, Oregon. I am an actively performing musician and recording artist; in the past, I have played with bands ranging from acoustic rock to punk, jazz to classical, Renaissance to reggae, blue-grass to heavy metal. I am a recent New York transplant, and am looking forward to sharing my love of guitar and piano with a new set of students!

I started teaching private lessons while living in Ashland, Oregon, and have continued teaching private lessons through today. I also taught at the Able Music Studio in Auckland, New Zealand for 2 1/2 years and then through the Musicality Network in Portland, Oregon for 1 year.

Multi-Instrumentalist and Producer with 5+ years teaching experience for beginner/intermediate students. My teaching style emphasizes laying a technical foundation while leaving space for exploration and "getting a feel" for the instrument. I have a passion for passing knowledge onto others, as was done for me.
