Classical Guitar Lessons in Logan Square. Amazing Teachers.

I am a professional Guitarist, Bassist, Pianist and Music Instructor based out of Haddonfield, NJ. I have taught hundreds of students between ages 4 and 70 from beginner to advanced in all musical styles. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Music in 2007, and was trained by top-tier musicians in Jazz, Classical, Blues, Rock, RnB, Pop and even Broadway.

My teaching style is to first identify what music motivates students, and then to carve out a path for them in fundamental practice towards achieving their goals, while preparing them for performance-level playing. Along that path, other musical styles, famous musicians and examples of mastery are introduced to broaden student’s understanding of what is achievable and to motivate them towards a higher level on their instrument.

Classical guitars can differ from other guitars and learning to play differs as well. In addition to playing a classical repertoire, the manner in which a classical guitarist plays is extremely important, plucking the strings with the right hand fingers without the use of a pick. In teaching classical guitar, I find ind ways to make lessons entertaining while also being educational incorporating both technique and theory into lessons. I'll work directly with you
to develop a curriculum that will achieve your musical goals.

I want to get as much musical information about you as possible. We would speak about long term/short term goals, past experiences, and, if capable, I would listen to how you play your instrument. It is very important to best know how I can fit in your musical journey. I work with each student differently and will ultimately come up with a method that best works for you.

From playing Bach to Carcassi to Sor it is the oldest guitar style that is heard to this day. Learning correct finger technique is the glue to being able to play the music of the past masters. You'll learn to read music and finger technique.

Classical, fingerpicking and Mexican rhythms.

I deeply care about each and every one of my students. I believe in the power of learning an instrument in someone's development as a part of their education and providing meaning in their lives. I tailor the lesson to each student's needs and interests. There are so many ways to conceptualize music and theory and I am dedicated to making sure each student has a strong foundation that works for them. I am interested in making the student a better musician, not just a guitarist, so hopefully they will one day be able to teach someone else.
