Playing guitar is about having fun.
I’ve been teaching people the ins and outs of guitar for over half of a decade. Being able to share the my joy and knowledge of my instrument is a privilege. One of the most gratifying things in my life is being able to watch my pupils absorb that information and use it to grow into better and better versions of themselves, both as people and musicians.
My lessons will always be catered to you. I prefer to teach things like technique and theory through your favorite songs and styles, but I will also introduce you to new music and get you thinking outside of the box.
People of any age, skill level, or musical background are welcome. Whatever your guitar goal is, I can help you achieve it. I would be privileged to be a part of your musical journey!
