I am a full time music instructor with over 30 years of experience teaching, performing and writing music. I teach both steel string guitar (acoustic or electric) and classical (nylon string) guitar as well as the electric bass and the ukulele. I incorporate music theory into my lessons but can also teach theory by itself. I cover rock, folk, pop, blues, jazz, gospel, country or classical. I teach fingerpicking and flat-picking. I strive to find a good balance each lesson between the study of reading, technique and music theory and learning songs you know and like. I have had excellent results with this approach such that many of my students have stayed and studied with me for over 5 years! The calendar will display my availablity but it is difficult to keep it 100% up to date. I suggest emailing me to confirm current openings. I look forward to the possibility of helping you reach your musical goals.
