I focus first on the actual playability of the student's instrument, i.e, action, intonation, neck profile, and tuning. An instrument does not have to be expensive to be good, but it must be "playable" in order for the student to learn and be inspired to continue to play. Once we ensure that the student is set up for success with a good instrument, I cover the basic mechanics of playing based on the student themselves. The size of their hands and fingers, their posture, techniques they may already know or be interested in. My approach to playing guitar is loose, dynamic, and detail-focused. I look forward to helping you reach your musical goals.

Hello! I have been in love with all things guitar for 30 years and enjoy exploring the little details of this instrument that most people overlook. My approach to teaching begins with ensuring that your instrument is indeed "playable". A guitar does not have to be expensive to be a good guitar, but it must be functional and allow for the student to play, learn, and be inspired. From there, I tailor our lessons to you the student... Your interests, goals, and unique potential. I look forward to helping you reach your guitar goals.

I first met Rik, the guitarist, at a sleepy thrift shop in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. He picked up an old six string and started playing. I could not believe the wall of sound that came crashing down all around me.  One man with an old dead acoustic guitar changed my ideas of the possible in three minutes. That was Rik in 2006. I hope you can come to love guitar as much as I do. He is a great inspiration to me and to my family. Highly recommended.
