Guitar Lessons in Multnomah. Amazing Teachers.

Contemporary approach to chord theory and scales to get students playing right away!

All that I request from a student is a desire to learn. I will work with you at your pace to achieve the musical goals you have. Each student begins at a different level.

The first lesson will focus on your musical background. If you are a beginner, that's no problem. I specialize in working with beginning students to teach them all the joy and satisfaction there is in mastering an instrument.

I love to laugh and the lessons are very laid back and fun, but I desire that a student move forward and learn new techniques.

You will be playing simple songs after your first lesson. I'm asked many times by students "how long will it take until I'm good." My answer is: that is in direct proportion to the amount of time you dedicate to practicing. After a month or two, you will know how to read music and have a basic understanding of music theory.

I use various curriculum depending on the student's need. For guitar, Hal Leonard or Mel Bay.

I am a full time guitarist, songwriter, producer and touring musician! I have been teaching professionally for over 7 years and love working with beginners, intermediate players, as well as those who are looking to enhance their own personal songwriting and unique approach . From kids to adults, I look and draw from a curriculum that caters towards individual needs and goals and set up a weekly plan to enhance and cultivate a routine and daily practice surrounding musical growth. I grew up playing in the blues community, and a lot of my foundation is rooted in this theory, however I have learned a lot along the way and have a set of tools and roadmaps that accommodate differently for each age range and lesson plan. I have in I also play the bass, sing and work with electronic production to arrange for songwriters and live shows. If you are older in age and need any help on the business side of planning your trajectory or are wanting to grow some skills for taking music to the stage, ...

My curriculum is tailored to meet each students specific needs. I am a classically trained guitarist with experience teaching students of all ages and styles. I teach theory, chords, how to read music and more.

Do everything you want to be able to do and learn everything that you hope to know about music and the guitar! I am a highly-qualified music educator with a degree in physics, four years of studies at Berklee College of Music, and nearly a decade of experience teaching private and group guitar lessons and ensembles. My lessons are energetic and focus on the learning-style of the individual student. I clearly communicate expectations to students (and parents) and establish practicing guidelines so that your progress is assured. Whether your child wants to rock out, you have been wanting to play guitar for years, or you want to take your playing to a new level, I can meet your needs. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your interest!

I've been playing guitar for 17 years and teaching for 8. In my teaching experiences so far, my students have gone from little or absolutely no experience, to playing their favorite songs in just a few short weeks. I will work with you to set goals and will customize lessons to work toward accomplishing them.
