I've been teaching guitar informally and professionally for approximately ten years. I am originally self-taught, though I have a BA from Millersville University with a minor in Music.

I am all about building a strong musical foundation and introducing the magic and wonder that is music to my students. My students learn how to how to read music — standard musical notation and tablature — understand the songs they play, how to perform, and how to communicate with other musicians. Plucking, strumming, fingerpicking, chords, single notes, scales and modes in addition to guitar care and tuning are just some of the aspects of learning the guitar. With a strong foundation, students can more easily and quickly explore other instruments and musical styles.

Whether you are using a pick or your fingers, I can help you not only learn the basics but teach you how to perform whole songs!

Whether you're tackling singer-songwriting, accompaniment, pop/rock, jazz/funk/r&b, or even classical exercises, I can help you. I've studied piano/voice/guitar long enough to know what each kind of instrumentalist/vocalist needs. I'm well versed in a overview of all genres and styles, as well as specialized areas of study. As a writer, I'm also very familiar with coaching instrumentalists geared towards composition and arranging. If you're looking to improve your skills, I can help!

Hi! Thanks for taking a second to read about me. I love music and that's why I'm here. Each instrument is a channel through which we individually learn how to interact with music. I chose guitar when I was a kid and never looked back. Now it's your turn to learn!

What I found most effective in my years of learning is what I'll teach you. Since every student is different, I'll listen for your cues and provide the guidance that you need. For example, some students simply want to play a few country songs and look to me for interpretation where other students what to understand the mechanics behind the theory and jazz.

I do believe some basic music theory will help you more quickly absorb all the music you hear around you and put it into a context so you can play it quickly, without reinventing the wheel every time. It's a great long term investment into simplifying music.

I'm great with beginners and I always learn something during a class too. I'm looking forward to ...

Music is all about feeling. My teaching style is very much based around what makes you comfortable. While I know how important the fundamentals of music are, I also believe that we develop our own style and comfortability as we progress and build our skill. I focus on everything from the ground up. You can never ask too many questions, and I am here to help you find your musical identity! :)

We'll cover essential chords, notes, simple scales, and warm up exercises that will absolutely change your game and turn playing guitar into an exciting challenge instead of a painful chore. Let me know how I can help you learn best, and I'll make sure you see yourself progress like never before.
