(11)
Aaron is available for in-home, in-studio, and online guitar, ukulele, and bass guitar lessons worldwide. Aaron has been playing guitar for over 15 years and teaching music since 2004. Aaron teaches people of all ages and levels of experience. Although trained in standard teaching methods, Aaron also uses some of his own methods of teaching to positively enhance the students’ strength, dexterity, ear-training, memorization and techniques. His goal as a teacher is specifically designed to help you achieve your goals as an artist and a musician. Aaron is flexible, fun-loving, and takes pride in helping students succeed.
Aaron attended the University of Colorado, Boulder, where he received his Bachelor of Arts in Musicology. He is constantly continuing his education with music theory courses and private guitar instruction from Boulder guitar legend Bill Kopper.
Aaron is an expert transcriber for guitar and bass using notation and tablature, effective exercises, and he can break it down and explain complex patterns in a simple, easy-to-understand way that better enhances the students’ learning.
Aaron has been learning tunes by ear for many years and can easily teach any song. Lessons with Aaron cover selections from all of your favorite artists such as Led Zeppelin, Green Day, Guns 'N' Roses, Train, Maroon 5, John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, The Beatles, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton to name a few.
Another nice feature that you might enjoy from one-on-one sessions with Aaron is learning the ability to craft and record your own songs using state of the art technology that caters to your own unique personality. You can record segments of musical selections you are currently working on to see more clearly how to practice. There are no limits!
Lessons are scheduled to best fit to the student's schedule when possible.
Students receive complimentary audio lessons and transcriptions of songs upon their first or second session. Aaron is a very patient instructor and understands that students learn at a different pace. After all guitar is supposed to be fun, not difficult and frustrating.

Aaron was a great teacher for our 10 year old daughter. She was interested in playing ukulele and neither my husband or I have any musical abilities, so we were fortunate enough to find Aaron. He was patient and encouraging and my daughter now loves playing her ukulele! I would highly recommend him to everyone!

Aaron has been a perfect fit for both my 11 year old son and almost 16 year old daughter. He is patient, creative, and enthusiastic and has managed to ignite a passion for guitar with both kids. They have learned most of the basic guitar chords, learned his methods to both identify a chord based on its shape, form chords when given a name and are now tackling occasional barre chords that come up in songs learned. They learned to read tablature, chord diagrams, and lead sheets. He has taught them contemporary songs they love to play and we like to hear ! Can reccommend Aaron hands down without any reservations ! He's a delight to have in our home and a wonderful mentor / teacher for our kids.

Aaron is very patient and understanding about what you want to accomplish in your playing. He's vastly open to multiple songs and quickly picks up on the songs that he doesn't know to be able to teach you. Awesome learning experience.
