Private Blues Guitar tutoring lessons Bryn Mawr, PA.

I like to make lessons fun and engaging for my students. Practicing for the sake of practicing doesn't yield usually leave a lasting love for playing music. I'm passionate about helping my students figure out what kind of music they enjoy or connect with and giving them the tools and techniques needed to play their favorite songs and styles - and also be able to play with their friends. I'm happy to go as deep into theory as the student wants to go. Learning the guitar changed my life because it gave me a new way to connect with people, and I started playing in churches and bands at a young age. My hope is to help my you or your child develop a love and mastery of your instrument!

Basic out line of blues guitar approach touching on the I IV V progression and pentatonic scales to play lead lines, solos and melodies. Heavy investigation of note bending, breathing and space. Learning to let the notes "breath" and speak is key to good blues.

Music is a way of discovering more about yourself in the present moment. When I give guitar lessons, I love to share the joy of discovery, accomplishment, overcoming obstacles, and creativity with others. Rather than music being a source of happiness in and of itself, I’ve learned that the truth is quite the opposite-happiness is where the music comes from, and the music is an expression of that happiness. I hope you will join me on this journey!
