Whether you're a hobbyist playing for fun, or want to take guitar to the next level, I can help you achieve your goals.

I teach adults of all ages and abilities.

I am a professional guitarist in the Chicago area. I play both Jazz and Classical guitar, having started in Rock.

I studied for many years with well known teacher and performer Jack Cecchini, and famous jazz guru Charlie Banacos. And have studied at the American Conservatory of Music (Chicago, now Indiana), and have played in masterclasses of famous classical guitarist Oscar Ghiglia. Professionally, I played both corporate and private gigs for many years. In addition to teaching, I have recorded with singers and other musicians for demos and radio commercials.

I like to make learning easy. There are a lot of things I have learned over the years that make playing easier. Some tricks and tips that can get you to the next level.

If your a beginner I teach a great set of lessons that will jump start your playing.

For those who already play guitar I teach more advanced lessons in Jazz and Classical Guitar.


Learning to play music on the guitar is an amazing and life changing goal. It's totally fun, and will enhance your life.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you to become a better musician!
