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.

Specializing in various styles including Jazz, Blues, Rock n' Roll, R&B, Funk, Hip Hop, and Classical.

I'm great working with brand new students and can confidently say you will play guitar studying with me. I love teaching guitar to new students! It's a joy for me when you see a new student glow with pride when they learn a new chord or a strumming pattern. This is what I love to do! JHS

All of my students get a solid foundation of technique, note reading theory and hands on applications of all of these subject. They can also expect for me to tailor each individual lesson to their needs. For instance if a student likes jazz we can focus on that or if they like rock or R&B the focus will be on that particular style. Also we can't forget that the lessons must be fun and exciting for the student for the students to progress at a steady pace.

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.

Extensive experience teaching rock, jazz and acoustic guitar. I base my teaching around the interests of the student, and also make sure to cover important fundamentals of music such as scales, chords and music theory.

I enjoy helping students develop their unique talents and helping them to find their own musical voice on the guitar or bass.

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.

My goal is to encourage more people to develop a love of music. That means helping them play the music they want to play. It means learning how to make practicing fun. My lessons aren't just about how to play guitar, but also about learning how a guitar works. how they're built, so that as you get better and start being more discerning with what you play on, you know what you're looking at in a shop. My goal is to lay a solid foundation for you to build upon technically and artistically.
