Acoustic Guitar Lessons in Windsor Road. Amazing Teachers.

I teach finger picking and accompaniment skills for folk singers.

I'm a patient teacher with the ability to structure and pace lessons to meet the individual needs and ability levels of a wide variety of students. I am a professional performer, composer and recording artist with 20 years experience on stage and in the studio. I'm familiar with a wide variety of styles, and have studied blues, African, classical and Brazilian guitar at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music. I offer lessons on acoustic or electric guitar, depending on student preference

Steel string and Classical/Spanish

Hello! I am highly competent in advanced acoustic guitar playing! Learn everything possible regarding fingerpicking techniques, rhythmic tapping, and two-hand techniques. I am familiar with the music of today's prominent acoustic guitar composers including Michael Hedges, Preston Reed, Sungha Jung, Andy McKee, Antoine DuFour, Don Ross, and many others. Enjoy the relaxation and beauty of this captivating instrument!

You will learn to play music you love.
We will use the design of the guitar to your learning and playing advantage.
Students like yourself learn to play beautifully in days, sometimes hours.

You are growing in a direction every moment.
Whether that direction includes excellence with the magical instrument we know as a guitar, or somewhere else, is a choice completely up to you now.

I will not only be your teacher, but I will teach you how to be your teacher.

My goal as an instructor is to keep the lessons fresh, fun, interesting, and to ultimately guide the students to better teach themselves as they gain experience and familiarity with the instrument and music. Students can have their lessons catered to the music and styles they wish to pursue. Lessons are tailored to each individual student so that we can build upon their strengths and focus on lessons to improve weaker areas. Students will learn how to build dexterity, use proper technique, and be creative. Every student has different goals, some really want to learn theory and read music. Others may simply want to learn to strum a few chords. Whatever the goal, I can provide the instructions to help the student succeed!
