Guitar with Chris A.

I will help you learn the songs you want to learn while teaching basics of playing melodies and chords. Depending on your goals, we can also work on music theory, scales/arpeggio exercises, and other fun guitar techniques from your favorite players. I teach 5 min walk from Journal Square PATH station in Jersey City at my studio, and also can travel to you. I have 10 years of professional teaching experience, working with students from 4 years old up to senior citizens. I write my own music and hold a Bachelor of Music from Moravian College in composition and jazz performance. *** Lesson Details *** Lessons can be structured and consistent in achieving specific goals, but we can also jump around as needed.
