Picture this....you get home after a long day of work or school, you feel a little stressed out by the world, wishing you had more time to get the endless list of things done and more energy to do them.....
Instead of turning on Netflix and zoning out, you pick up your guitar and play your favorite song.
Feels pretty great right?!
Learning to play an instrument is one of life's most rewarding endeavors, that just keeps getting better the longer you pursue it.
With playing an instrument, you will have something you love to do and look forward to doing every single day, enriching your life and those around you.
If you'd like to chat or have any questions just shoot me a message and I'll get back asap :)
Thanks for checking out my profile and I hope to hear from you soon.

I have been teaching Guitar since 2012 in a wide variety of settings, styles, and age groups. It is never too early or late to begin leaning guitar!
I tailor my teaching approach for the specific needs and goals of each student, always putting their priorities first. While I am versed in theoretical approaches and using method books like the Hal Leonard series, I am also fluent in working on contemporary music with a focus on ear training and improvisation.

I grew up steeped in music, with a music studio in the basement, playing guitar and singing with my family since I could walk.

Hear From TakeLessons Guitar Students
Over the past 12 years, we've given over 3,000,000 lessons to happy customers around the world.
he is the best guitar teacher and he is young and very talented"
Andrew is an exceptionally gifted teacher. He knows music through and through. He knows guitar forward and back. His command of music theory, the guitar and performance is so complete (so second-nature to him), he can direct his conscious attention entirely to the needs of the student, adapting his teaching methodology accordingly. And he does it with such ease and comity.
Every lesson I attended was relaxed, cordial, fun and packed with tips, expertise & insight."
The Guitar Scene in Portland
By David H. - Portland Guitar Teacher
Portland is a great city for music. Whether you are just getting started taking guitar lessons in Portland or are a seasoned pro, the independent music scene is growing rapidly and people are moving from all over the world to take part in the music scene here. There are almost unlimited small venues for music as well as large venues to play. The best way to get into the scene here is to attend a few open mic nights, which you can find online or in papers like the Willamette Week. You will have the opportunity to sign up and then play for a small period of time. The purpose of these open mic nights is to get comfortable playing on stage and making connections with other people in the music scene. You shouldn’t be worried about starting at the
bottom. You can then move up to playing shows at larger venues.
Social media is also a great way to see what’s going on in the music scene. You can see who knows who, and get a list of venues for acts that are similar to you. Then can then start approaching these venues and see what it would take to book a show there. You can also network with acts that you might fit well on a bill with. Get a demo recording of your music online and start adding people, then pay attention to what comments they leave and which songs get played and how much. You can use companies like CDbaby to get your music on iTunes and Amazon MP3 so people who are interested in your music can purchase it. Even if sales are low at first, having your music available for sale is a very important step on many levels.
I hope you find these tips helpful as you begin your musical journey taking guitar lessons in Portland!
