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!

system begins by building a musical foundation from learning scales, chords, picking and strumming techniques, use of arpeggios, and basic music theory which is taught by learning actual songs chosen by the student incorporating each of the different techniques described above. By learning actual songs the student gains much greater confidence more quickly than by just learning rote exercises.

Then begins the journey of playing lead guitar and improvising.

I offer a method that gets you learning your favorite songs fast and at the same time learning what makes up those particular tunes so you can then take that knowledge and expand on it.

I'm 32 years old and have been playing guitar and bass for 25 years, since the age of 7.

I also teach music theory, singing while playing, composition and songwriting. Whatever your musical goals, I'm confident you will see fast results.

Self-taught, with hours of practice a day! Ive learned through trial and era and succeeded with precision!! With only 3 years as a guitar player, my playing would make you think ive played way longer!!... Finger picking is my specialty!!
