About Kenton D.
Hi, there! My name is Kenton and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching private lessons since 2019 and have loved helping my students learn the basics of guitar, music theory, and musicianship. I went to SUNY Brockport and earned a degree in Psychology in 2016. Following my undergrad I took a position that allowed me to travel the United States with not much more than a duffle bag and my trusty guitar.
More recently I've found myself growing roots in Rochester, New York, where I live and play music with two of my best friends. During the day I work in early school-age educational enrichment making sure my students are able to access and succeed in a constantly shifting educational environment.
I'm an energetic and goal oriented person and my teaching style is fun, engaging, and detail oriented. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

Kenton is an amazing instructor. I wasn't sure anyone would have enough patience to teach my 7 yr old daughter, but he has such a gift for working with kids that she is actually learning to play and looks forward to every lesson! She is starting to understand how to read music, and Kenton's enthusiasm and encouragement are making it such a fun process. I would recommend him to anyone of any age, at any point of their musical journey!

Kenton is one of my top students. He has excelled in many guitar subjects and always has a very positive attitude. His guitar playing and his experience as a current educator will make him a quality teacher to anyone who books a lesson with him.
His patience and understanding will go a long way for any student to learn and grow. Book a lesson with Kenton and find out how much you'll learn!

I have known Kenton as a friend, teacher, and mentor for about two years now. The interest, dedication, and necessary time I have seen him engage in with music, primarily guitar, has been extraordinary. When it comes to guitar, Kenton's knowledge has become vast due to his passion for learning. Kenton therefore has a plethora of music history, genre, and guitar theory to offer his students. Kenton is choosing to share this knowledge with his students because he wants to incorporate music even further into his life, and pass on what he has learned, and his rad skills on guitar :)
Personally, Kenton has been generous with his knowledge of guitar, guitar theory, and has been eager to share it with me as I expand my guitar repertoire. He has an admirable desire to see others excel at their craft, and finds happiness in taking part in their journey!
I could go on about how this dude has had positive impact in my life, but you get the idea. Go forth and flourish!!

I picked up a lot of things with Kenton fairly quickly. He used a lot of different terms to help me familiarize myself with the instrument and techniques much faster than before
